Value Collection 720-1433 Ball End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1433 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contour milling, slotting, and profiling operations in metal and non-metal materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers reliable performance in general-purpose machining environments. The 1 inch cutting diameter and 2-flute right-hand spiral geometry support efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With a 2.25 inch length of cut and a 4.5625 inch overall length, it is sized for standard vertical mill and CNC machining center setups. Machinists and toolroom technicians will find this end mill well-suited for roughing and semi-finishing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

This ball end mill is used in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers for profiling, 3D contouring, and radius milling operations. The 0.75 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and Weldon-style toolholders commonly found in job shops and production environments. It is appropriate for residential toolroom applications as well as light industrial production work where a general-purpose HSS ball end mill is specified.

Key Features

• 1 inch ball nose cutting diameter for radius and contour profiling
• M2 high speed steel construction provides toughness and wear resistance in general-purpose applications
• 2-flute right-hand spiral geometry promotes chip clearance during slotting and profiling
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Single-end design with 0.75 inch shank diameter for broad toolholder compatibility
• Standard length type with 2.25 inch length of cut and 4.5625 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for vertical mills and CNC machining centers requiring a 1 inch diameter, 0.75 inch shank, single-end ball nose tool in M2 high speed steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for toolholder torque and runout tolerances. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from any toolholder. Ensure the shank is fully seated to the minimum insertion depth required by the holder type before securing set screws or collet nuts. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
