Value Collection 722-4004 Square End Mill 1/8 in 4 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-4004 is a high speed steel (HSS) square end mill designed for milling operations in metal fabrication, tool rooms, and machine shops. Built from M2 HSS with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this double-end mill delivers extended tool life and improved wear resistance compared to uncoated HSS. The 1/8 inch cutting diameter and 30-degree spiral helix produce clean, efficient chip evacuation on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With four flutes and a right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration, it is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in manual and CNC machining centers. Machinists and tool room operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is used in light-to-medium milling applications where a small-diameter, short-cut-length tool is required. The 3/8 inch shank diameter makes it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders found on vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. The double-end design allows both ends to be used before replacement, extending the service life per tool. Typical applications include slotting thin stock, profiling small features, and step milling in steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials.

Key Features

• M2 high speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• TiN coating reduces friction and increases surface hardness for longer tool life
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip removal
• Four-flute spiral configuration suited for finishing and profiling cuts
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute geometry compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for 3/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders used in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers requiring a 1/8 inch diameter square end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool room professional. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or seating the tool. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the collet or end mill holder per the machine manufacturer specifications. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material and tool diameter.
