Value Collection 723-1648 Square End Mill 11/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-1648 is a cobalt square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this double-end tool delivers extended tool life when cutting ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. It features a 30-degree helix spiral flute geometry with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation. The centercutting design allows plunge cutting as well as peripheral milling, making it a versatile choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling operations in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and plunge cutting in steel and stainless steel workpieces. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending the service life of each tool. It is a regular-length mill appropriate for standard reach setups where extended reach tooling is not required.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in tough alloys
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree helix spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting geometry supports both plunge and peripheral milling
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without coolant on compatible setups
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute — standard orientation for most milling machines

Compatibility

Compatible with workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Designed as a standard fractional-inch shank end mill for use in collets, end mill holders, and chucks sized for 3/16-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for the material and tool diameter being used.
