Value Collection 720-1569 Square End Mill 1-1/2 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-1569 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for material removal in milling operations on aluminum and non-ferrous metals. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool features a 1.5-inch cutting diameter, an 8-inch length of cut, and an overall length of 10.5 inches, placing it in the extra-long category. The 37-degree right-hand spiral helix and two-flute geometry promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action in softer workpiece materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this style of end mill in vertical and horizontal milling machines as well as machining centers.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials where deep reach is required. The extra-long length of cut allows access to deep pockets and tall workpiece features that standard-length end mills cannot reach. The 1.25-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard milling chucks, collet systems, and end mill holders sized for that bore. It is a right-hand cutting tool intended for conventional and climb milling applications on CNC and manual milling equipment.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch mill diameter with 8-inch length of cut for deep-reach milling operations
• M2 high speed steel construction provides good toughness and wear resistance in non-ferrous applications
• 37-degree right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation from deep pockets
• Two-flute design reduces cutting forces and suits gummy, soft materials such as aluminum
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright, uncoated finish is suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Extra-long OAL of 10.5 inches extends reach without sacrificing a standard 1.25-inch shank interface

Compatibility

Designed for use with aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Compatible with milling chucks, collet holders, and end mill holders with a 1.25-inch bore. Belongs to series VCCC-HSS-2-AL.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard machine tool setup procedures. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, de-energized state before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Verify holder bore size matches the 1.25-inch shank diameter and that the tool is secured to the manufacturer-recommended pull-out torque for the holder type in use. Extra-long end mills are more susceptible to deflection — minimize overhang beyond the holder and use conservative feed and depth-of-cut parameters when first proving out a new operation.
