Value Collection 720-1465 Ball End Mill 5/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1465 is a single-end ball end mill designed for contouring, slotting, and profiling operations on a milling machine or machining center. It measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 1-3/8 inch length of cut and an overall length of 4-5/8 inches. The cutter is manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish and features two right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation. The extended reach design and 2-3/4 inch reach length make it well suited for operations requiring clearance in deep pockets or stepped workpieces.

This end mill is a general-purpose tool for use in manual mills and CNC machining centers. It is appropriate for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials where HSS tooling is specified. The 5/8 inch shank diameter matches standard collet and end mill holder sizes used in most vertical milling setups. The single-end configuration is typical for production and maintenance machining environments where the tool is replaced rather than resharpened in the field.

Key Features

• Ball nose geometry for contouring, 3D profiling, and radius floor finishing
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance in general machining
• 2 right-hand spiral flutes for clean chip evacuation in slotting and plunge cuts
• Extended reach with 2-3/4 inch reach length for deep-pocket and stepped-surface access
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Single-end design with 5/8 inch shank diameter for standard collet and holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production ball end mill for use with 5/8 inch collets and end mill holders in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist using a standard end mill holder or collet chuck sized to the 5/8 inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating to confirm proper tool engagement. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines for maximum RPM and depth of cut settings.
