Value Collection 722-2008 Square End Mill 1/8 in Hss Tin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-2008 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill designed for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Built from M2 high speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it offers improved wear resistance and tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The 1/8 inch cutting diameter and 3/8 inch length of cut make it well suited for slot milling, profiling, and light pocket work in small-scale or precision applications. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across supported workpiece materials.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines where a small-diameter, short-reach tool is required. The double-end configuration extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends. It is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance machining environments handling ferrous and high-temp alloy workpieces. The 3/8 inch shank diameter allows direct mounting in standard R8, ER, or Weldon-style collet systems commonly found in production and toolroom settings.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction with TiN coating for extended wear resistance
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool, maximizing value
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Regular length configuration for rigid setups with minimal overhang

Compatibility

Designed for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Fits standard 3/8 inch collet or end mill holder systems. No specific OEM machine model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 3/8 inch shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware per the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, particularly at this diameter, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.
