Value Collection 723-1650 Square End Mill 3/16in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-1650 is a double-end, two-flute cobalt square end mill designed for material removal and profiling in ferrous and high-strength workpiece materials. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The mill measures 3/16 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch length of cut and a 2-1/4-inch overall length. Its 30-degree right-hand spiral helix and bright/uncoated finish make it suitable for general-purpose slotting, side milling, and contouring. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators are the typical end users for this style of cutting tool.

This end mill is suited for milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, and S. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends per tool, extending service life before replacement. The regular-length body and fractional-inch shank diameter of 3/16 inches make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders used in vertical mills, CNC machining centers, and knee mills in both production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat resistance during ferrous machining
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry cutting on appropriate materials
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/16-inch collet chucks, end mill holders, or equivalent workholding used on vertical knee mills and CNC machining centers. Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys per ISO material codes P, M, K, and S.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before seating the end mill. Verify proper tool projection and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow applicable OSHA machine guarding and PPE requirements during setup and operation.
