Value Collection 722-1037 Square End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-1037 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved surface hardness and heat resistance compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutting diameter is 7/16 inches (0.4375 inches) with a 13/16 inch (0.8125 inches) length of cut and a 2-1/2 inch overall length. With 2 flutes and a 30-degree right-hand helix, this end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users.

This end mill is used in manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers where a fractional-inch, right-hand cutting tool is required. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders used in light-duty to medium-duty production setups. The regular-length geometry makes it a practical choice for face milling, shoulder milling, and contour work on steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without pre-drilling.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Single-end configuration; 3/8 inch shank fits standard collet systems
• Regular-length geometry provides rigidity in typical depth-of-cut applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fractional-inch single-end square end mill compatible with standard 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders used in manual and CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the machine manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or coating damage before use, and confirm the cutting direction matches the spindle rotation direction of the machine.
