Value Collection 720-9130 Square End Mill 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 720-9130 is a single-end square end mill designed for material removal and profiling operations on a milling machine or machining center. Built from M2 high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, this tool features a 0.5118-inch cutting diameter, a 1.125-inch length of cut, and a 0.500-inch shank diameter. The two-flute configuration provides efficient chip evacuation and is well suited for slotting, peripheral milling, and plunge cutting. A right-hand cut with right-hand spiral flutes and a 30-degree helix angle produces clean, consistent cuts across a range of common workpiece materials.

This end mill is intended for use on manual mills and CNC machining centers in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. It is centercutting, which allows direct plunge entry into a workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole. Typical applications include profiling, contouring, and slotting operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The 3.125-inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard depth setups without sacrificing rigidity.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance across a range of materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous applications as well as general-purpose steel cutting
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• 30-degree helix angle with right-hand spiral flutes for smooth chip flow
• Two-flute design provides large chip gullets for efficient evacuation in slotting operations
• Single-end configuration with a standard 0.500-inch shank for compatibility with common collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose single-end square end mill with a 0.500-inch shank diameter, fitting standard ER, R8, and straight-bore end mill holders commonly used on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before securing the shank. Follow the tool holder manufacturer's torque recommendations when tightening collet nuts or set screws. Do not exceed the tool's rated cutting parameters for the workpiece material being machined.
