Value Collection 720-2060 Square End Mill 9/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-2060 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel. It carries a 9/16-inch cutting diameter with a 1-1/8-inch length of cut and a 4-1/2-inch overall length. The 5/8-inch shank diameter and 30-degree helix angle suit a wide range of milling operations including slotting, profiling, and peripheral cuts. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for M2 HSS tooling used across general-purpose machining environments. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This end mill is designed for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, making it applicable across job shop, maintenance, and production machining scenarios. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending the effective service life of each tool. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard, compatible with conventional vertical and horizontal milling setups. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry into workpiece material without a pre-drilled hole.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with edge strength
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute for standard milling machine spindles
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose HSS applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Compatible with any milling machine or machining center that accepts a 5/8-inch straight shank tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Use an appropriately sized collet or end mill holder rated for the 5/8-inch shank diameter, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and speed when working with HSS tooling on hard alloys.
