Value Collection 720-1505 Square End Mill 1/4 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1505 is a single-end square end mill designed for precision milling of aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Ground from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in light-duty and general-purpose machining applications. The 37-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during cutting. With a 1/4-inch cutting diameter and a 1-3/4-inch length of cut, it handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations on CNC mills and manual knee mills alike. The extra-long 3-1/2-inch overall length suits setups requiring extended reach into deep cavities or fixtures.

This end mill is intended for machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working with aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. The two-flute configuration provides larger chip gullets than four-flute designs, making it well suited for full-slot cuts and high-chip-load passes in softer metals. It fits standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders on vertical machining centers, CNC routers, and manual mills. The extra-long series designation makes it a practical choice when standard-length tools cannot reach the work zone.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across non-ferrous and aluminum applications

• Extra-long 3-1/2-inch overall length provides extended reach in deep-cavity setups
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains sharpness and is suitable for regrinding
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cutting direction

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Fits standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders. Belongs to series VCCC-HSS-2-AL.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and fully stopped. Secure the 3/8-inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, torquing to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the shank and cutting edges for damage before use. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine guarding requirements during operation.
