Value Collection 723-2426 Cobalt End Mill Set 6 Pc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-2426 is a 6-piece cobalt end mill set designed for milling operations requiring consistent performance across a range of cut diameters. Each end mill is ground from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, which provides added heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. The double-end design delivers two usable cutting ends per tool, extending service life. All six cutters feature a 2-flute, square-end geometry with a bright uncoated finish. The set is suited for machinists, tool-and-die shops, and maintenance professionals running manual or CNC milling machines.

This set covers six common fractional diameters — 1/8 inch, 3/16 inch, 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, 3/8 inch, and 1/2 inch — making it a practical bench stock option for shops that work across varied workpiece sizes. Regular-length flutes keep the tools rigid for general-purpose slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The included wood stand organizes all six cutters and keeps cutting edges protected between uses. Cobalt tooling is appropriate for cutting alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and other harder materials where standard HSS tooling wears prematurely.

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard milling machine collets and end mill holders accepting straight-shank tooling in the fractional inch diameters included in this set.

Installation Notes

End mills should be installed by a qualified machinist using a properly sized collet or end mill holder to ensure concentric runout within acceptable limits. Secure the shank to the full recommended engagement depth in the holder before torquing the drawbar or set screws. Inspect each cutting end for chips or edge damage before use. Follow your machine tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when changing tooling.
