Value Collection 720-2022 Square End Mill 15/64 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-2022 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel. It is designed for milling slots, pockets, and profiles on a wide range of metallic workpieces. The cutting diameter measures 0.2344 inches (15/64 inch), with a 0.5 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The overall length is 3.125 inches. The 30-degree spiral helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting action. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for general-purpose machining where coated tooling is not required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the typical users.

This end mill is rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, covering a broad range of shop applications. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge milling in addition to peripheral and slot milling. The double-end configuration provides a second cutting end when one end wears, extending tool life before replacement is needed. It fits standard 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders common in both manual knee mills and CNC machining centers. The regular length designation suits most standard-depth milling operations without the added deflection risk of extended-reach tooling.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and high-temp alloy workpieces
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications and re-sharpening
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute, compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Fits any 3/8 inch collet or end mill holder on manual or CNC milling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine setup and toolholder specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or holder. Verify collet size matches the 3/8 inch shank before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, particularly when switching between ends on a double-end tool.
