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 measures 9\/16 inches in diameter with a 1\/2-inch shank, a 1-3\/8-inch length of cut, and a 3-3\/8-inch overall length. Its four-flute spiral geometry provides a balance of chip clearance and surface finish quality suitable for general-purpose milling operations. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of end mill in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for regular-length, fractional-inch applications on manual and CNC milling equipment. The 30-degree helix angle and right-hand cut with right-hand flute configuration makes it a standard choice for conventional and climb milling on steel, cast iron, and similar materials. It is a non-centercutting design, meaning it is not suitable for direct plunging; side milling, peripheral milling, and slotting from an edge entry are the appropriate applications. Part of the VC-HSS-4-TN series, it follows fractional inch sizing conventions common in North American machine shops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM2 high speed steel construction for toughness and re-sharpenability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral geometry balances chip evacuation with finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle suits general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, right-hand flute — standard configuration for most milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end, non-centercutting design; not intended for plunge cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch replacement or service end mill for manual knee mills and CNC machining centers accepting a 1\/2-inch straight shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the end mill from its collet or end mill holder. Verify runout after tool installation and confirm the machine spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutter diameter before engaging the cut. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, always initiate cuts from the edge of the workpiece or a pre-drilled hole rather than plunging directly into solid material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches (0.5625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-3\/8 inches (1.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-3\/8 inches (3.375 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (M2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\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\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VC-HSS-4-TN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 722-3049\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715163193650,"sku":"722-3049","price":49.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/812327747be17ffa874ae741b10879e8.jpg?v=1788509975","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-722-3049-square-end-mill-9-16-in-4-flute-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
