Value Collection 722-4036 Square End Mill 3/8in 4 Flute Hss Tin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 722-4036 is a double-end, four-flute square end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in a wide range of metalworking and machining applications. Manufactured from M2 high speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tool delivers improved wear resistance and extended tool life compared to uncoated HSS end mills. The 3/8 inch diameter with a matching 3/8 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders without adapters. The 30-degree helix angle and right-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation during side milling, slotting, and profiling cuts.

This end mill is suited for use on manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and benchtop milling machines operating on ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool, extending service intervals in production and job shop environments. A 3/4 inch length of cut and 3.5 inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in standard fixturing setups. Machinists, tool and die makers, and general machine shop personnel are the primary installers and operators of this tooling.

Key Features

• Double-end construction provides two cutting ends per tool, reducing per-cut tooling cost
• TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• M2 high speed steel substrate offers toughness and regrindability
• 30-degree helix angle with right-hand spiral flutes for effective chip evacuation
• Four flutes for improved surface finish on finishing passes
• Non-center-cutting geometry — not suited for direct plunge cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders in manual and CNC milling machines accepting fractional-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or holder. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Because this tool is non-center-cutting, use a ramping or helical entry path rather than a direct axial plunge.
