Value Collection 723-1415 Ball End Mill 9/16 in 2 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-1415 is a single-end cobalt ball end mill designed for milling curved surfaces, contoured profiles, and three-dimensional shapes in metal and hard materials. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention during demanding cutting operations. The 9/16-inch diameter cutting head and 1-inch length of cut make it well suited for moderate-depth profiling passes. The bright/uncoated finish maintains a sharp, precise edge geometry. Machinists and CNC operators install this tool in vertical milling machines and machining centers where accurate contour work is required.

This ball end mill is used in job shops, toolrooms, and production machining environments handling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloy steels, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting direction and spiral flute geometry work with standard right-hand spindle machines. Its standard length classification makes it a straightforward drop-in for general-purpose ball-nose milling applications where extended reach is not required.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction provides superior heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS
• 2-flute spiral design supports efficient chip evacuation during profiling cuts
• Bright/uncoated finish preserves precise cutting edge geometry out of the box
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard spindle machines
• Single-end design with 1/2-inch shank diameter for secure collet or end mill holder grip
• Standard length at 3 inches overall length keeps rigidity high in typical setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-fitment replacement or addition for vertical mills and CNC machining centers accepting a 1/2-inch shank end mill. No specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the spindle drive before inserting or removing end mills. Seat the 1/2-inch shank fully into a clean, matched collet or end mill holder and torque the retaining nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edge and shank for chips or runout before each use.
