Value Collection 720-2036 Square End Mill 11/32 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-2036 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling in a wide range of metalworking applications. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.3438 inches in cutting diameter with a 9/16-inch length of cut and a 3/8-inch shank diameter. The overall length is 3.125 inches. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into workpiece material. This end mill is suited for machinists, toolroom operators, and CNC setup techs working in job shop or production environments.

This end mill is rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, and S. The regular-length proportions make it well-suited for standard-depth peripheral milling, slotting, and profiling passes on vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life before regrind or replacement is required.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness across a broad range of metals
• 30-degree spiral flute helix for effective chip removal and reduced heat buildup
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating delamination risk in interrupted cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use in any milling machine or machining center accepting a 3/8-inch straight shank end mill holder, collet, or set-screw style tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician using a compatible end mill holder or collet chuck sized for a 3/8-inch shank. Always de-energize and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Verify tool runout with an indicator after seating the shank to confirm proper concentricity before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds based on workpiece material and depth of cut.
