Value Collection 722-2016 Square End Mill 3/16 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-2016 is a double-end, square-profile end mill designed for precision milling operations on ferrous metals and high-temperature alloys. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it offers improved wear resistance and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The 2-flute, spiral design with a 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and is suitable for slotting, profiling, and light pocketing work. At 0.1875 inches in diameter with a 3/8-inch shank, this mill is sized for close-tolerance work in small features.

This end mill is intended for use on manual mills, CNC machining centers, and knee mills in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. It is well-suited for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The centercutting geometry allows it to plunge directly into a workpiece. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending the useful life of the tool before replacement is required.

Key Features

• Double-end design yields two cutting ends per tool
• M2 high speed steel construction with TiN coating for extended wear resistance
• 30-degree helix angle and spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capable — supports direct plunge entry
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration — compatible with standard spindle rotation
• Primary workpiece materials: steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temp alloys

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for manual and CNC milling applications requiring a 3/16-inch diameter, 3/8-inch shank, double-end square end mill in high speed steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in a collet or end mill holder rated for the shank diameter before operation; minimum shank engagement should follow tool holder manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use. Do not exceed recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and tool diameter to avoid premature tool failure.
