Value Collection 720-3023 Square End Mill 9/32 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3023 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for milling, slotting, and profiling operations on a range of workpiece materials. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.2813 inches (9/32 inches) in cutting diameter and features four right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle. The 11/16-inch length of cut and 2.5-inch overall length make this a regular-length tool suited for standard-depth cuts. Machinists and tool and die professionals use it for general-purpose milling where HSS tooling is preferred over carbide, particularly in setups that involve interrupted cuts or softer workpiece materials.

This end mill is intended for use in manual mills, knee mills, CNC machining centers, and toolroom machines operating in fractional-inch setups. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in those environments. Right-hand cutting direction means it runs with conventional spindle rotation. The non-centercutting design means this tool is not intended for direct plunge cuts; it should be ramped or side-fed into the material.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose milling applications
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch) cutting diameter with 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch) length of cut
• 3/8 inch shank diameter compatible with standard collets and end mill holders
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in a wide range of materials
• Single-end design; non-centercutting — side-feed or ramp entry required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stocking tool for fractional-inch end mill applications requiring a 9/32 inch diameter, 3/8 inch shank, regular-length, 4-flute HSS square end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the machine or holder specification. Confirm runout with an indicator before cutting. Because this tool is non-centercutting, do not plunge directly into the workpiece; use a ramp or helical entry path.
