Value Collection 720-3053 Square End Mill 5/8 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3053 is a single-end, four-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in a wide range of metalworking applications. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 5/8 inch cutting diameter and a 1-3/8 inch length of cut. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during slotting, peripheral milling, and profiling passes. With a 1/2 inch shank diameter and 3-3/8 inch overall length, this tool fits standard milling machine collets and end mill holders commonly found in job shops and maintenance machining environments. Installation and use require a compatible machine spindle and appropriate workholding.

This end mill is suited for use on knee mills, CNC vertical machining centers, and manual milling machines handling ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate cutting parameters. The M2 high speed steel construction performs reliably in interrupted cuts and general contouring work where carbide tooling is not required. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for standard dry or flood-coolant milling operations. This tool is a regular-length configuration, making it a practical choice for everyday shop floor tasks including step milling, shoulder milling, and face profiling where extended reach is not needed.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose milling
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip removal
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for dry or flood-coolant machining
• Single-end design with 5/8 inch cutting diameter and 1-3/8 inch length of cut
• Regular-length body at 3-3/8 inch overall length with 1/2 inch shank diameter
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard milling machine spindles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch square end mill for use in milling machines equipped with collets or end mill holders accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This tool should be installed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Secure the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the machine manufacturer's specification before engaging the spindle. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before performing any tool change. Avoid side loads that exceed the tool's rated length of cut, and do not use this end mill as a drill — it is a non-centercutting design.
