Built to M42 cobalt steel grade, it offers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard high-speed steel tooling. The 1\/4 inch mill diameter pairs with a 1\/2 inch length of cut, making it well suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tighter work envelopes. With a 30-degree helix angle and two right-hand spiral flutes, the tool promotes efficient chip evacuation while maintaining cutting edge stability. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this end mill in production and job-shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is intended for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The 2-flute geometry provides adequate chip clearance when working in softer steels or when plunging is required, as the tool is centercutting. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit toolholders commonly found on vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The regular length designation keeps overhang minimal and improves rigidity during cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for elevated heat resistance and tool life on ferrous and high-temp alloy materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4 inch mill diameter with 1\/2 inch length of cut for precise slotting and profiling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute right-hand spiral design promotes chip evacuation and allows centercutting plunge capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle balances cutting force and surface finish across a range of workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and suitable for re-coating if required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 3\/8 inch shank diameter for broad toolholder compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch single-end square end mill for use in ER collet chucks, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit toolholders accepting a 3\/8 inch shank.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before loading or changing tooling. Set tool runout within acceptable tolerances using a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the rated length of cut when programming axial depth of cut, as engaging flutes beyond the cutting length can damage the tool and workpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.2500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-5\/16 inches (2.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCCC-C-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.12 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 723-1017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693691732274,"sku":"723-1017","price":29.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d7744f34260cd57bd80d8a982dd770df.jpg?v=1788316154","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-723-1017-square-end-mill-1-4-in-2-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
