Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this double-end tool offers a 5\/16 inch (0.3125 inch) cutting diameter with a 3\/4 inch length of cut and a 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation. The four-flute spiral configuration supports smooth side milling, slotting, and light shoulder work. The bright, uncoated finish retains the base material properties without added coating complexity. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill in manual mills and CNC machining centers on ferrous and harder non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is suited for precision milling work in job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments. The double-end design effectively doubles usable tool life before disposal, making it a practical choice for shops managing tooling costs on common milling operations. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders across most vertical milling setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling with typical spindle rotation. Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDouble-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-flute spiral geometry supports slotting, profiling, and side milling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces cutting pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting capable for direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright\/uncoated finish — compatible with most cutting fluid types without coating compatibility concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard fractional-inch shank end mill for use in collet chucks, end mill holders, and set-screw holders accepting a 3\/8 inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off or in an e-stop state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on multi-flute tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches (0.3125 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches (0.7500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches (3.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\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\u003eHelix Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Double\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Index\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChipbreaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: VCCCDE-C-4\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: 0.15 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: 723-4108\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720846770482,"sku":"723-4108","price":48.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c791964dace3ed1d3555bf2c40f383b9.jpg?v=1788569887","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-723-4108-square-end-mill-5-16-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
