Value Collection 720-4318 Square End Mill 1/16 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-4318 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and similar materials. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance in general-purpose machining applications. The tool features a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) mill diameter, a 3/16 inch length of cut, and a 2-1/4 inch overall length. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, while the centercutting geometry allows plunge cuts in addition to peripheral and slot milling.

This end mill is suited for light-duty milling work on small features, slots, and contours where a small-diameter tool is required. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life between replacements. It is a practical choice for tool and die work, mold making, and general machining in job shop environments. Installation and use are performed by machinists on manual or CNC milling equipment. The regular-length body fits standard collet and end mill holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal cutting
• Four-flute spiral design for smooth surface finish and efficient material removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation in slot and peripheral milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation for standard milling spindle direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use in manual or CNC milling machines and machining centers equipped with collet systems or end mill holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully in a collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before operation. Ensure the spindle and machine are fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when setting feeds, speeds, and depths of cut for M2 high speed steel tooling.
