Value Collection 720-3039 Square End Mill 7/16 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3039 is a square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from M2 High Speed Steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool features a 7/16 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut. The 4-flute, single-end configuration with a 30-degree helix angle supports smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting action. It is a regular-length tool with a right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute direction. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this type of end mill for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in manual and CNC machine setups.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling applications in job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders common on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and benchtop CNC machines. The fractional-inch sizing makes it a direct fit for shops working in inch-based measurement systems. It is not center-cutting and does not support plunge entry. Side milling and slotting are its primary use cases.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fractional-inch square end mill compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out before tool changes. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the minimum engagement depth required for your tooling system and torque the retention hardware to your machine or toolholder specification. Because this tool is not center-cutting, do not attempt plunge cuts directly into solid material; ramp entry or pre-drilled holes are required for pocket work. Verify runout after installation before commencing cuts.
