Value Collection 720-3135 Square End Mill 1-1/2 in 6 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3135 is a 6-flute square end mill designed for material removal and finishing operations in milling applications. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, this single-end tool features a 1.5-inch cutting diameter and a 2-inch length of cut. The 30-degree helix angle supports chip evacuation during conventional milling passes. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals working with milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers in job shop and production environments.

This end mill is suited for peripheral and slot milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a large-diameter, multi-flute HSS tool is appropriate. The 6-flute configuration increases the number of cutting edges in contact with the workpiece, supporting smoother surface finishes at moderate feed rates. The 0.75-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders sized for 3/4-inch shanks. It is a regular-length tool in the VC-HSS-6 series, appropriate for general-purpose work where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch cutting diameter with 2-inch length of cut for substantial material engagement
• 6-flute spiral geometry supports improved surface finish over 2- and 4-flute alternatives
• M2 high speed steel construction provides toughness and wear resistance in general machining
• 30-degree helix angle aids chip flow and reduces cutting forces
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating to chip or delaminate; suitable for re-sharpening
• Single-end, right-hand cut, regular-length design for straightforward toolholder setup

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter. No specific OEM or machine model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the toolholder. Verify toolholder bore size matches the 3/4-inch shank before tightening. This tool is not center-cutting and should not be used for direct plunging operations.
