Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this end mill features a 3\/8-inch diameter, a 9\/16-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle across two flutes. The double-end configuration extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry as well as conventional lateral milling. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for use in conventional vertical and horizontal milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, corresponding to material codes P, M, K, and S. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and light pocket milling in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. The regular-length geometry and fractional-inch sizing make it compatible with standard R8, CAT, and other common tool holding systems that accept a 3\/8-inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two cutting ends, extending usable tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction offers toughness across a range of ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting flute geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose steel and alloy applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand spiral for use in standard milling machine spindles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard milling machines and machining centers accepting a 3\/8-inch shank.

Secure the shank fully within a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications before engaging the spindle. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing or inspecting the tool. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/8 inches (3.1250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (M2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 720-2040\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721225109810,"sku":"720-2040","price":41.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fd338c1ee1cbf2eb8d5f0ffe97cb7b0c.jpg?v=1788575069","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-2040-square-end-mill-3-8-in-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
