Value Collection 720-3007 Square End Mill 5/32 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3007 is a single-end square end mill designed for milling flat-bottomed slots, pockets, and profiling operations on a wide range of workpiece materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 5/32-inch cutting diameter, a 7/16-inch length of cut, and a 3/8-inch shank diameter. The 30-degree spiral helix and 4-flute geometry promote smooth chip evacuation and a consistent finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials alike. At 2-3/8 inches overall length, this is a standard-length tool suited to general-purpose machining tasks.

This end mill fits conventional knee mills, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines where a 3/8-inch collet or end mill holder is available. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. It is well-suited for job shops, maintenance machining, and toolroom work where a reliable, uncoated HSS end mill is preferred over carbide for interrupted cuts or setups where tool deflection is a concern.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction provides good toughness and wear resistance for general-purpose milling
• 4-flute design delivers a smoother finish compared to 2-flute tools at equivalent feed rates
• 30-degree helix angle aids chip flow and reduces cutting forces on the workpiece
• Bright/uncoated finish maintains sharpness and is re-sharpenable without coating concerns
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle use
• Regular-length series for rigid setups with minimal overhang

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch single-end square end mill for use in any milling setup accepting a 3/8-inch shank; no specific OEM model compatibility is stated for this part.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified toolroom technician should install this end mill in a properly sized collet or end mill holder, ensuring the shank is fully seated and the holder is torqued per machine manufacturer specifications. Secure all workpiece fixturing and verify spindle direction is right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. This tool is not center-cutting and should not be used for direct plunge operations; ramp or helical entry is required when entering a closed pocket. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool when surface finish or dimensional accuracy degrades.
