Value Collection 723-5525 Roughing End Mill 5/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5525 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting ferrous metals and tough alloys. The 5/8 inch diameter tool features 4 flutes with a coarse pitch geometry that breaks chips efficiently, reducing heat buildup and cutting forces during heavy roughing passes. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the surface as-ground with no added coating. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with manual or CNC milling equipment.

This roughing end mill is suited for roughing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments. With a 1-5/8 inch length of cut and 3-3/4 inch overall length, it handles standard-depth roughing cuts on vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. The 5/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders common in trade and production shops. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional milling setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for heat resistance and durability in tough materials
• Coarse pitch, 4-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during heavy roughing passes
• 5/8 inch diameter with matching 5/8 inch shank for direct collet or Weldon holder mounting
• 1-5/8 inch length of cut handles standard roughing depth requirements
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional milling compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish, no added coating to alter edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 5/8 inch collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style tool holders on vertical and CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered off and locked out before tool changes. Seat the shank fully in the holder and torque set screws or collet nuts to the holder manufacturer's specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before starting a cut. This tool is not centercutting and should not be plunged axially into solid material.
