Value Collection 720-8160 Square End Mill 16mm 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-8160 is a single-end square end mill designed for milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. It features a 16 mm (0.6299 inch) cutting diameter, a 1-5/8 inch (1.625 inch) length of cut, and 4 spiral flutes ground from M2 high speed steel. The bright, uncoated finish maintains a sharp edge geometry suited for general-purpose milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 30-degree helix angle and right-hand cutting and flute direction, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and consistent cutting performance. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry as well as peripheral cuts.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers performing slotting, profiling, contouring, and side milling operations. The 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in production and job-shop settings. Its 3-3/4 inch overall length provides adequate reach for typical workpiece depths without excessive overhang. This tool is appropriate for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with general workshop tolerances.

Key Features

• 16 mm cutting diameter with 0.625 inch shank for standard toolholder compatibility
• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability
• 4 spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional milling setups
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or working stock end mill for standard 5/8 inch bore toolholders across vertical mills and CNC machining centers. Part of the VCCC-HSS-4 series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out before tool changes. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the toolholder collet or set-screw assembly according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before use. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material.
