Value Collection 723-1610 Cobalt Square End Mill 7/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-1610 is a double-end cobalt square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this stub-length tool features a 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch) cutting diameter and a 5/32 inch (0.1563 inch) length of cut. With 2 flutes and a 30-degree right-hand spiral helix, it delivers efficient chip evacuation and clean edge geometry. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry as well as peripheral milling. The bright/uncoated finish suits general-purpose use across a range of ferrous workpiece materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and CNC operators working in job shops and manufacturing environments are the primary users.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Its stub-length profile provides rigidity in tight-clearance setups where deflection must be minimized. The double-end design doubles usable tool life, making it a practical choice for production environments. The 3/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found on vertical mills and CNC machining centers. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and light pocketing at small diameters.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• Center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge milling
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and dry cutting setups
• Stub-length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection at small diameters

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16 inch shank. Suitable for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, S).

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per standard shop safety procedures. Ensure the shank is clean and the collet or holder is properly torqued before operation. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and depth of cut. Inspect the cutting edges before each use; a double-end tool should be flipped only when the active end shows wear, not damage.
