Value Collection 720-8050 Square End Mill 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-8050 is a 4-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal, steel, and similar materials. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool delivers consistent cutting performance in a compact form. It features a 0.1969-inch cutting diameter, a 0.5625-inch length of cut, and a 0.3750-inch shank diameter, making it suitable for light-duty profiling, slotting, and peripheral milling tasks. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute geometry provide standard chip evacuation. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this tool class.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines where a small-diameter, single-end tool is required. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and helps reduce chatter during passes. It is commonly used for finishing passes, small-feature profiling, and slot milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous cutting
• 4-flute configuration for improved finish quality and feed rate capability
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• 30-degree helix angle supports smooth chip flow and reduced vibration
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup concerns during regrinding
• Right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flute for standard spindle operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-end square end mill for use in standard milling machine collets and tool holders accepting a 0.3750-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or tool holder. Secure the 0.3750-inch shank firmly in a properly sized collet to the collet nut torque specification recommended by the tool holder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cutting pass to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
