Value Collection 723-4342 Square End Mill 7/64 in 4 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-4342 is a cobalt double-end square end mill designed for milling, slotting, and peripheral cutting in ferrous and hard materials. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat and wear resistance suited for demanding machining applications. The 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch) cutting diameter pairs with a 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch) length of cut and a 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation. At 2-5/8 inches overall length with a 3/16 inch shank diameter, this long-series tool fits a range of milling setups. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on CNC mills and manual knee mills alike.

This end mill is suited for light to medium milling operations in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other tough materials where cobalt tooling outperforms standard high-speed steel. The double-end configuration doubles usable tool life before replacement. The bright uncoated finish makes it a straightforward general-purpose choice when specialty coatings are not required. Long-series length provides extended reach for deeper cavity work or setups requiring clearance beyond standard-length tooling.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved red hardness and wear resistance over standard HSS
• Double-end design extends tool life by providing two usable cutting ends
• 4-flute spiral geometry with 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip flow
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces
• Long-series length at 2-5/8 inches OAL for extended reach applications
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general ferrous and non-ferrous cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard replacement end mill for milling machines accepting a 3/16 inch round shank, including CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. The shank should be secured in a collet or end mill holder rated for the 3/16 inch diameter before use. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine power is off before tool changes. Do not exceed the manufacturer-recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material being cut.
