Value Collection 720-8060 Square End Mill 6mm 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-8060 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Ground from M2 high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool offers a 6 mm (0.2362 inch) cutting diameter and a 5/8 inch (0.6250 inch) length of cut. The 4-flute, right-hand spiral configuration with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and a smooth surface finish. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry into workpieces. This end mill is installed and used by machinists, toolmakers, and CNC operators working in job shop and production settings.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where an uncoated HSS tool is appropriate. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers. With a 2-1/2 inch overall length and no extended reach, it provides good rigidity for standard-depth cuts in typical workpiece setups. The metric-system diameter designation makes it a practical choice for applications requiring 6 mm nominal cutting diameter.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank on vertical knee mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following safe tooling practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth per the holder manufacturer guidelines and torque the collet nut appropriately using the correct spanner wrench. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge condition is compromised.
