Value Collection 720-4348 Square End Mill 5/32 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-4348 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill manufactured from M2 high speed steel. It is designed for milling operations requiring a bright, uncoated cutting edge with a 30-degree helix angle and right-hand cutting and flute direction. With a 5/32 inch (0.1563 inch) mill diameter and a 7/8 inch (0.8750 inch) length of cut, this tool is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The double-end configuration extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. Machinists and tool room operators working with manual or CNC mills will find this a straightforward replacement or production end mill for light-to-medium milling tasks.

This end mill fits typical applications in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where fractional-inch HSS tooling is the standard. The long-length classification and 3-1/4 inch overall length allow for deeper reach in setups where standard-length tooling falls short. The 3/16 inch shank diameter is compatible with standard end mill holders, collets, and Weldon-style holders sized for that shank. It is centercutting, meaning it can be used for plunge cuts as well as conventional side milling operations.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two cutting ends for extended tool life
• M2 high speed steel construction offers good wear resistance and toughness
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without coating-specific material restrictions
• Long-length series (3-1/4 inches OAL) provides extended reach over standard-length equivalents

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders, collets, and Weldon-style tool holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter. Suitable for general milling applications across ferrous and non-ferrous materials in manual and CNC machining setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the end mill. Torque set screws or collet nuts to the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to avoid premature tool wear or surface finish issues.
