Value Collection 720-2020 Square End Mill 7/32 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-2020 is a double-end, square-profile end mill designed for milling operations on ferrous and high-temperature alloy workpieces. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.2188 inches (7/32 inch) in cutting diameter with a 0.5 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The 30-degree helix spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With two flutes and centercutting capability, this tool handles both plunge and profile cuts in a single setup. It is sold individually and suited to general-purpose CNC and manual milling applications.

This end mill is intended for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, covering ISO material codes P, M, K, and S. The regular-length body and 3-1/8 inch overall length make it a practical choice for standard depth milling on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and bench-top milling machines. The double-end design allows the operator to index to the second cutting end when the first end wears, extending useful tool life before replacement is required.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow in ferrous materials
• M2 high speed steel construction provides toughness and wear resistance at moderate cutting speeds
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for standard spindle direction use
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for milling applications on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys using standard 3/8 inch collets or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician using a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or set-screw adapter rated for 3/8 inch shank tooling. Verify spindle runout is within acceptable limits before use, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and can cause tool breakage. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before changing tooling. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for recommended speeds and feeds when cutting the intended workpiece material.
