Value Collection 720-3019 Square End Mill 1/4 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3019 is a single-end, 4-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel. It carries a 1/4 inch mill diameter, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and a 3/8 inch shank diameter, giving it a regular-length profile suited for general-purpose milling work. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation across a wide range of materials. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the tool ready to run as delivered, with no additional coating preparation required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals typically reach for this tool when slotting, profiling, or peripheral milling in mild steels, aluminum, and similar machinable materials on manual or CNC mills.

This end mill fits standard applications in job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments where a reliable HSS cutter is preferred over carbide for interrupted cuts or flexible toolpaths. Its 3/8 inch shank seats in common ER collet systems and side-lock holders. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are the industry standard orientation for conventional milling setups. With an overall length of 2-1/2 inches, it provides adequate reach for typical workpiece depths without excessive tool deflection.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability
• 4-flute configuration for improved surface finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Bright/uncoated finish — ready to use straight from the package
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction for standard milling setups
• Single-end design with a regular length profile for general shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock cutter for any milling machine or machining center that accepts a 3/8 inch shank end mill via collet, end mill holder, or side-lock arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before seating or removing the cutter. Verify collet or holder bore condition and proper shank engagement depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
