Value Collection 722-3103 Square End Mill 1 in 4 Flute Hss Tin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-3103 is a single-end, square-profile end mill designed for milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. Built from M2 high speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it delivers increased surface hardness and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS tooling. The cutter measures 1 inch in diameter with a 1-7/8 inch length of cut and features four right-hand spiral flutes with a 30-degree helix angle. Overall length is 4-1/8 inches with a 3/4 inch shank diameter. This end mill is a regular-length design suited for side milling, slotting, and profiling cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is intended for use in manual milling machines and CNC machining centers handling general-purpose material removal tasks. The fractional-inch sizing makes it a practical fit for shops running inch-based tooling systems. The non-centercutting geometry means it is optimized for peripheral and side cutting rather than plunge operations. Typical applications include profile milling, shoulder milling, and slot finishing in steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials encountered in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for toughness and wear resistance in general machining
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• Four right-hand spiral flutes with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• 1 inch cutting diameter with 1-7/8 inch length of cut for substantial material engagement
• 3/4 inch shank diameter for secure collet or end mill holder retention
• Single-end, non-centercutting design — suited for peripheral milling and slotting, not plunge cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fractional-inch end mill compatible with standard milling machine spindles and CNC machining centers accepting a 3/4 inch straight shank via collet chuck or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling and spindle specifications. Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the end mill. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the collet or holder and that all retention hardware is properly tightened before operation. Do not use this non-centercutting end mill for plunge cuts, as this can damage the cutting edges and create an unsafe condition.
