Value Collection 723-4616 Roughing End Mill 1-1/2 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-4616 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it measures 1.5 inches in cutting diameter with a 1.25-inch shank diameter. The 3-flute geometry and high-helix design work together to clear chips efficiently during heavy roughing passes. The cutting length is 2 inches, and the overall length is 4.5 inches. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. This tool is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual or CNC milling equipment.

This roughing end mill is used in metal removal applications across job shops, production machining, and maintenance environments. It is suited for milling ferrous metals and other materials where rapid stock removal is the priority before finishing passes. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional vertical and horizontal milling machines and CNC machining centers. Single-end configuration means the tool is replaced when the cutting end dulls rather than flipped.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 1.5-inch cutting diameter with a 1.25-inch shank for rigid tool holding
• 3-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during heavy roughing cuts
• High-helix geometry reduces cutting forces and improves surface finish on roughing passes
• Center-cutting capable — allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled hole
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill for standard milling machine tool holders and CNC machining center collet or end mill holders accepting a 1.25-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes must be performed with the machine spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per applicable shop safety procedures. Secure the 1.25-inch shank in a properly sized collet, end mill holder, or side-lock holder and verify runout before taking a cut. Inspect the tool for chips or cracks before each use. A licensed machinist or qualified toolroom technician should set feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate for the workpiece material.
