Value Collection 720-4060 Square End Mill 5/8 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-4060 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and manufacturing environments. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 5/8 inches in diameter with a 1-3/8 inch length of cut and a 5-inch overall length. The 30-degree right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during side milling, slotting, and profiling passes. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators install this tool in vertical or horizontal milling machines and machining centers where ferrous and non-ferrous material removal is required at moderate speeds and feeds.

This end mill suits residential shop, production floor, and toolroom applications where a reliable fractional-inch, double-end geometry is preferred. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending service life before the tool is retired. With a 5/8-inch shank diameter matching the cutter diameter, it seats directly into standard ER or end mill holders of the corresponding bore size. It is particularly well suited to profiling, contouring, and peripheral milling passes on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials at conventional milling speeds.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two cutting ends for extended tool life
• M2 high speed steel construction offers good toughness and wear resistance at moderate cutting temperatures
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow in slotting and profiling cuts
• Bright, uncoated finish allows straightforward re-sharpening without coating concerns
• Four flutes deliver a balance of chip clearance and surface finish on a range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation on most milling machines

Compatibility

Designed as a fractional-inch, double-end square end mill for use in standard milling machine spindles and CNC machining centers accepting 5/8-inch bore end mill holders or collet chucks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine manufacturer's tooling guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from its holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the collet or end mill holder and torque the drawbar or set screw to the holder manufacturer's specification. This tool is not centercutting and should not be plunged axially into solid material without a pre-drilled pilot hole or ramping entry strategy.
