Value Collection 722-1125 Square End Mill 1-1/4 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-1125 is a single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal, alloy steel, and similar materials. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved surface hardness and wear resistance compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutter features a 1.25-inch diameter, a 1.625-inch length of cut, and a 30-degree helix angle with two right-hand spiral flutes. The centercutting geometry allows both peripheral and plunge milling. It is installed and run by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, profiling, and shoulder milling in job shop, maintenance, and light production environments. The regular-length body and 1.25-inch straight shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders sized for 1-1/4-inch shanks. Its two-flute configuration provides adequate chip clearance when milling softer steels, aluminum alloys, and non-ferrous materials where chip evacuation is a priority.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote smooth chip flow and reduced chatter
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge cuts without pre-drilling
• Two-flute geometry maximizes chip clearance in gummy or soft materials
• Single-end configuration with a 1.25-inch straight shank for secure toolholder seating

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting a 1-1/4-inch straight shank. Suitable for vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers configured for fractional-inch HSS tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and locked out per applicable safety procedures. Secure the shank fully within the toolholder to the recommended engagement depth for the holder type in use, and torque set screws or collet nuts according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and TiN coating for chips or wear before mounting. Run speeds and feeds should be selected based on workpiece material, depth of cut, and machine rigidity using standard HSS end mill guidelines.
