Value Collection 720-9060 Square End Mill 6mm 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-9060 is a single-end square end mill designed for material removal and profile milling in metalworking applications. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this end mill features a 6 mm (0.2362 inch) cutting diameter, a 0.5 inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with two right-hand spiral flutes. The centercutting geometry allows plunge cutting as well as peripheral milling. It is installed and used by machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working in job shop or production environments.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and CNC routers. The 2-5/16 inch overall length provides adequate reach for typical slot, pocket, and contour operations without sacrificing rigidity. It is well-matched to general-purpose applications where an uncoated HSS tool is preferred over carbide or coated alternatives.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction provides toughness and re-sharpenability
• 6 mm cutting diameter with 0.5 inch length of cut for slot and pocket work
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design improves chip evacuation in softer materials
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency and tool stability
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual or CNC milling machines accepting metric-diameter end mills. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and non-ferrous alloys.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the machine and holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm that cutting speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter.
