Value Collection 723-1102 Square End Mill 1 in 2 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-1102 is a cobalt square end mill designed for material removal in ferrous and high-temperature alloy applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this single-end mill features a 1 inch cutting diameter, a 1.5 inch length of cut, and a 0.5 inch shank diameter for secure toolholder engagement. The 30-degree spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup during aggressive passes. With a bright uncoated finish and right-hand cut and flute direction, this mill is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual or CNC milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys.

This end mill fits standard applications in job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments where a reliable cobalt single-end tool is required. The centercutting design allows for plunge entry directly into the workpiece, eliminating the need for a pre-drilled pilot hole in many setups. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, aligning with ISO material codes P, M, K, and S. The regular-length profile and fractional inch dimensioning make this tool a straightforward drop-in choice for common milling setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting forces on tough alloys
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use and easy re-sharpening
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling spindle compatibility
• 2-flute design provides clearance for chip evacuation in softer or gummy materials within the rated material range

Compatibility

Designed for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, and S). Fits any toolholder or collet accepting a 0.5 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholder torque and runout procedures for the machine in use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Verify shank engagement depth meets the toolholder manufacturer minimum before beginning a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use, particularly after running in hard or abrasive materials.
