Value Collection 720-2008 Square End Mill 1/8 in Hss Double End

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-2008 is a double-end square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and high-temperature alloy materials. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this tool features a 1/8-inch (0.1250-inch) cutting diameter and a 3/8-inch length of cut. The 2-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation and clean edge profiles. Centercutting capability allows both plunge and peripheral cutting. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in CNC and manual milling applications.

The 720-2008 is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life between replacements. With a 3/8-inch shank diameter and a 3-1/16-inch overall length, this tool fits standard collets and end mill holders common in both vertical and horizontal milling setups. It is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and light plunge work where a small-diameter tool is required.

Key Features

• Double-end configuration yields two cutting ends per tool
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and alloy materials
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes chip flow and reduces heat buildup
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction suits standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Compatible with standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders used in CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention device to the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before engaging the cut to protect the small-diameter cutting edge.
