Value Collection 722-3102 Square End Mill 1in 4 Flute Hss Tin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-3102 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from M2 high speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers improved wear resistance and longer tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutter measures 1 inch in diameter with a 1-7/8 inch length of cut (LOC), a 4-inch overall length (OAL), and a 5/8 inch shank diameter. Four right-hand spiral flutes at a 30-degree helix angle promote efficient chip evacuation during side milling and peripheral cuts.

This end mill is suited for manual mills, CNC knee mills, and vertical machining centers in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. It runs in a right-hand cutting direction and is classified as a regular-length tool, making it a practical fit for face milling, slotting, and profiling in steel and aluminum applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and users. Note that this tool is not center-cutting and is not designed for plunge entry cuts.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness in interrupted cuts and general milling
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction for extended tool life
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix for efficient chip clearing
• 1 inch cutting diameter with 1-7/8 inch LOC for medium-depth peripheral milling
• 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard R8, ER, and side-lock holders
• Single-end design; non-center-cutting — not suitable for direct plunge operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use tool for manual and CNC milling machines accepting a 5/8 inch shank end mill holder in fractional inch tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully into a collet chuck, side-lock holder, or milling chuck rated for the 5/8 inch shank diameter, and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Do not use this tool for plunge cuts, as it is a non-center-cutting design.
