Value Collection 720-8240 Square End Mill 24mm 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-8240 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and manufacturing environments. Constructed from M2 high speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it features a 24 mm (0.9449 inch) cutting diameter and a 4-flute spiral configuration with a 30-degree right-hand helix. The 1-7/8 inch length of cut and 4-1/8 inch overall length make it well suited for shoulder milling, slotting, and profiling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Center cutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC setup technicians.

This end mill is appropriate for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines where a right-hand cutting, single-end tool is required. The metric 24 mm diameter fits applications where millimeter-based design tolerances are specified. The 7/8 inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet chucks, end mill holders, and milling machine spindles accepting that shank size. It is suited for production and prototype work in job shop and industrial settings.

Key Features

• 24 mm (0.9449 inch) cutting diameter for metric-dimensioned applications
• M2 high speed steel construction for wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• 4-flute spiral design with 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Center cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry
• Bright/uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluid or dry in lower-speed applications
• Single-end configuration with 7/8 inch straight shank for secure toolholder engagement

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting a 7/8 inch straight shank; compatible with vertical machining centers and manual knee mills configured for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Verify shank engagement depth meets the toolholder minimum grip length before operation. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and machine rigidity.
