Value Collection 720-1463 Ball End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1463 is a single-end ball end mill designed for milling operations that require a spherical cutting profile. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1/2 inch cutting diameter and 1 inch length of cut make it well suited for contouring, profiling, and finishing passes in light to medium machining work. With a 4 inch overall length and 2-1/4 inch extended reach, it provides clearance in deeper pockets and complex part geometries. Machinists and tool and die technicians are the primary installers and operators of this tooling.

This end mill is used in vertical and horizontal milling machines, machining centers, and manual knee mills where ball-end geometry is required. It is appropriate for 3D contouring, radius slot milling, and die work in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The right-hand cutting and right-hand spiral flute configuration suits standard spindle rotation on most CNC and manual equipment.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch mill diameter with 1 inch length of cut for contouring and profiling
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications
• 2-flute, right-hand spiral design with right-hand cutting direction
• 2-1/4 inch reach length provides clearance for deeper pocket work
• Single-end configuration with 1/2 inch shank diameter for standard collet and chuck setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock ball end mill for milling machines and machining centers accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter toolholder, collet, or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the toolholder is torqued to the equipment manufacturer's specification using the appropriate wrench. Inspect the collet or chuck for wear before use to prevent runout that can damage the cutting edge.
