Value Collection 722-3068 Square End Mill 3/4 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-3068 is a 4-flute, single-end square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and manufacturing environments. Built from M2 high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it offers improved wear resistance and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutting diameter is 0.75 inches with a 1.625-inch length of cut, a 0.75-inch shank diameter, and a 3.875-inch overall length. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during peripheral and slot milling. This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers performing profiling, slotting, and side milling operations. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration matches the standard spindle rotation of most milling equipment. It is a non-centercutting tool, meaning it is not designed for direct plunge cuts into solid material. The regular-length profile keeps it appropriate for standard-reach applications where extended-reach or stub tooling is not required.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and heat resistance
• TiN coating reduces friction and increases surface hardness for longer tool life
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and effective chip removal
• 4-flute design provides a superior surface finish compared to 2-flute alternatives
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute for use in standard CNC and manual milling spindles
• Single-end configuration with 0.75-inch shank for direct installation in collets or end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fractional-inch shank end mill compatible with 3/4-inch collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders used in conventional and CNC vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. The shank should be seated to the full recommended depth in the collet or tool holder and secured per the holder manufacturer's torque guidelines. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning a cut. Do not use this tool for plunge operations into solid material, as it is a non-centercutting design.
