Value Collection 722-2028 Square End Mill 9/32 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-2028 is a double-end, two-flute square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous metals and high-temperature alloys. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tool delivers extended tool life and reduced friction at the cutting edge. It measures 9/32 inches in diameter with a 9/16 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The 30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting geometry allows plunge entry. Weighing just 0.02 pounds, it is sized for light-duty precision work on manual or CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, profiling, and pocketing operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Its double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending service life between tool changes. Typical applications include tool room work, maintenance machining, and production milling where a small-diameter, short-reach cutter is required. A right-hand cutting direction and spiral flute design keep chip flow predictable across a range of feeds and speeds appropriate to HSS tooling.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two cutting ends from one tool
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces built-up edge on ferrous materials
• M2 high speed steel substrate for toughness in interrupted cuts
• 30-degree right-hand helix for controlled chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• Right-hand cutting and flute direction compatible with standard milling spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard milling machine collets and chucks accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter. Rated for primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, S).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the milling spindle is fully de-energized and at rest before inserting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully in the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism to the equipment manufacturer specification. Confirm cutting direction matches spindle rotation before engaging the workpiece, and apply cutting fluid or mist coolant as appropriate for the workpiece material and feed rate.
