Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright\/uncoated finish, this tool delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1\/2 inch cutting diameter and 1-1\/4 inch length of cut make it well suited for slotting, peripheral milling, and profile work on manual mills and CNC machining centers. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and consistent cutting action across a range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments where a standard fractional-inch HSS end mill is specified. The regular-length geometry and 1\/2 inch shank diameter fit standard ER collets and end mill holders commonly found on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and CNC routers. It is appropriate for light to moderate cutting depths in steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction provides good wear resistance and toughness across a range of cutting applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute geometry increases feed rate capability and surface finish quality compared to 2-flute designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish is compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and lubricants\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting construction — not suited for direct plunge entry into solid material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch replacement end mill compatible with any machine tool spindle accepting a 1\/2 inch straight shank via collet chuck or end mill holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator using a properly sized collet or end mill holder. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Confirm shank seating depth meets the tool holder manufacturer minimum engagement requirement before tightening. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, avoid direct axial plunge cuts — use a ramping or helical entry strategy instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches (1.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/4 inches (3.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\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\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: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VC-HSS-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 720-3045\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716597416242,"sku":"720-3045","price":35.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6845673ab90c2a8bd1a6b348828f6730.jpg?v=1788528595","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-720-3045-square-end-mill-1-2-in-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
