Built from M2 high speed steel and coated with titanium nitride (TiN), it delivers improved surface hardness and heat resistance compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The 0.5-inch diameter cutting head features two right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle and a 1-inch length of cut, with an overall length of 3 inches and a 0.5-inch shank diameter. This is a regular-length, center-cutting tool, meaning it can plunge as well as profile cut. It is sold as a single unit and suits manual mills, CNC knee mills, and light-duty machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for general-purpose milling work where a fractional-inch, two-flute HSS tool is specified. The two-flute geometry provides larger chip clearance, making it a practical choice for softer materials, slotting passes, and applications where chip evacuation is a concern. The TiN coating extends tool life in moderate-speed cutting of steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction conform to standard spindle rotation on conventional milling equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction with TiN coating for added surface hardness and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch cutting diameter with a matching 0.5-inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular-length geometry (3 inches OAL) balances rigidity and reach in standard setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration; no reversible cutting end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch square end mill compatible with any milling machine, CNC machining center, or manual knee mill equipped with a 1\/2-inch collet, end mill holder, or Weldon-style tool holder accepting a 0.5-inch shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per applicable shop safety procedures. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the set screw or collet nut to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutting diameter before beginning a cut. Cutting parameters — speed, feed, and depth of cut — should be selected based on workpiece material and machine rigidity; consult a speeds-and-feeds reference appropriate for TiN-coated M2 HSS tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel, Grade M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 722-1043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692320653618,"sku":"722-1043","price":38.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4af17074739ae3f68cfe38d8bdb83c8c.jpg?v=1788296256","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-722-1043-square-end-mill-1-2-in-hss-tin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
