Value Collection 720-3507 Square End Mill 7/16 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-3507 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool measures 7/16 inches in diameter with a 1-3/4 inch length of cut and a 3-3/4 inch overall length. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and a stable cutting action. This is a long-series end mill suited for applications requiring additional reach beyond standard-length tooling.

The 720-3507 is well suited for slot milling, peripheral milling, and step machining on manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. Its 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and R8 collet systems commonly found in job shop and production environments. The long-series length type provides access to features in deeper cavities where a standard-length tool would not reach. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials will find this a practical general-purpose option.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a broad range of workpiece materials
• 4 right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Long-series length type for increased reach in deeper milling applications
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup concerns when running with cutting fluid
• Single-end design with right-hand cutting direction
• Not center-cutting — not intended for direct plunge operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch shank end mill compatible with 1/2 inch collet systems on manual and CNC milling machines. Verify spindle collet size and machine rigidity before use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Secure the shank to the full recommended collet engagement depth to prevent tool pullout during cutting. Because this tool is not center-cutting, use ramping or helical entry strategies rather than direct plunge moves.
