Value Collection 720-4314 Square End Mill 11/64 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-4314 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel. It carries an 11/64-inch (0.1719 inches) cutting diameter and a 9/32-inch (0.2813 inches) length of cut, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in stub-length applications. The bright, uncoated finish is the standard for general-purpose HSS tooling. Center-cutting geometry allows the tool to plunge directly into a workpiece. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard configurations compatible with conventional milling machine spindles. The double-end design doubles usable tool life before the cutter is retired.

This end mill is intended for use in manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and benchtop milling equipment where a small-diameter, short-reach cutter is required. The stub length format reduces deflection in tight spaces and shallow-pocket operations. It is appropriate for cutting mild steels, aluminum, brass, and plastics. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians working in job shops or production environments will find this size useful for detail work and small-feature machining where a standard-length tool would be unnecessarily long.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for general-purpose cutting performance across a range of workpiece materials
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life per unit
• Center-cutting geometry permits direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 30-degree helix angle with spiral flutes promotes chip evacuation during milling operations
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Stub length format minimizes overhang and reduces deflection in shallow-pocket applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock cutter for milling operations requiring an 11/64-inch diameter, four-flute square end mill with a 3/16-inch shank diameter. Compatible with any collet, end mill holder, or milling chuck sized for a 3/16-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerance. Secure the shank fully within the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Do not exceed the cutter manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material being cut.
