Value Collection 720-3103 Square End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3103 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and maintenance environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers reliable performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials at moderate cutting speeds. The tool features a 1 inch mill diameter, a 1-7/8 inch length of cut, and a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix angle with 4 flutes. It is a right-hand cutting direction tool suited for conventional milling setups on manual mills and CNC machining centers where HSS tooling is specified.

This end mill fits standard milling applications in toolrooms, job shops, and maintenance facilities. The 3/4 inch shank diameter makes it compatible with common collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling machine spindles sized for that shank. The regular-length profile and 4-1/8 inch overall length keep it suitable for face milling, slotting, and peripheral cuts in workpieces where extended reach is not required. This is not a center-cutting tool and is not intended for direct plunge entry.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation in slotting and peripheral milling
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional tolerance on the cutting edge
• Single-end design with a 1 inch mill diameter and 1-7/8 inch length of cut
• Regular-length (Series VC-HSS-4) profile suitable for standard-depth milling applications
• Not center-cutting — not designed for plunge entry; use a pilot hole or ramp entry when required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch HSS square end mill for use in 3/4 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling machine spindles that accept a 3/4 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Secure the 3/4 inch shank fully in the holder per the tool holder manufacturer's minimum engagement specification before operation. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Do not use this tool for direct plunge cutting; ramp entry or a pre-drilled pilot hole is required for pocket operations.
