Value Collection 720-3265 Square End Mill 7/8 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3265 is a 4-flute, single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machined from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it measures 0.875 inches in diameter with a 5-inch length of cut and a 7.25-inch overall length. The right-hand cut, right-hand spiral flute geometry at a 30-degree helix angle provides efficient chip evacuation and stable cutting performance. This tool is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This end mill fits standard applications in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments where a reliable HSS cutter is preferred over carbide for interrupted cuts or softer workpiece materials. The centercutting design allows plunge milling in addition to standard lateral passes. Its regular-length classification makes it compatible with most R8, CAT, BT, and straight-shank toolholders accepting a 0.875-inch shank diameter.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted cuts and general metalworking
• 4-flute spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright uncoated finish suits use with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry matches standard spindle rotation
• Single-end configuration; regular-length series VCCC-HSS-4

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.875-inch shank square end mill compatible with toolholders and collets accepting 7/8-inch straight shanks on vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Insert the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, and confirm that coolant or cutting fluid selection is appropriate for the workpiece material.
