This double-end configuration offers two usable ends, extending tool life between changes. The cutter measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 0.5 inch length of cut and a 3\/8 inch shank diameter. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it handles heat and wear better than standard HSS tooling. The bright uncoated finish is suitable for general-purpose milling where coating is not required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in manual mills and CNC machining centers for roughing and finishing passes on ferrous and high-temperature materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is rated for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The 2-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in tougher, more ductile materials and allows for slotting operations where chip load management is critical. The 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish across the listed workpiece materials. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling on most vertical milling setups. The double-end design makes it a practical choice for shops looking to maximize value from each tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and wear life over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two cutting ends per tool, reducing per-edge tooling cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute geometry supports slotting and chip clearance in steel and stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle balances cutting force and finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose ferrous and high-temp alloy milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys in manual and CNC vertical milling applications.

Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Verify runout after seating in the holder, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on small-diameter cobalt tooling. Follow machine manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the workpiece material and tool diameter before beginning any cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches (1\/4 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.125 inches (3-1\/8 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast Iron, High-Temp Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCCCDE-C-2-30H\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fractional Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 723-2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695482372402,"sku":"723-2024","price":39.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/19214eb6e89d0653dad7f9230c90d3bf.jpg?v=1788335554","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-723-2024-square-end-mill-1-4-in-2-flute-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
