Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in general-purpose machining applications. The 1\/2 inch mill diameter and 13\/16 inch length of cut make it well-suited for moderate-depth profiling and finishing passes. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. This end mill is installed and used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators working on mills, machining centers, and manual knee mills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments where a double-end design extends usable tool life. The 1\/2 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style holders commonly found in both manual and CNC setups. Its right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life between replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction offers a balance of toughness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish suits a broad range of general-purpose materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute spiral for standard milling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard length profile fits most common tool holders without extended-reach considerations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-shank replacement ball end mill for use in any milling machine, machining center, or CNC router equipped with a 1\/2 inch end mill holder or compatible collet chuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine in a powered-down, locked-out state before tool changes. Seat the 1\/2 inch shank fully into the holder and torque retention hardware according to the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use. Double-end tools should be handled carefully to protect the inactive end during storage and setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 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: 720-2174\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707142275378,"sku":"720-2174","price":93.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f9e7081d1d1de080a6e2f5f34ec11d76.jpg?v=1788438576","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-2174-ball-end-mill-1-2-in-2-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
