Value Collection 723-5533 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5533 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a coarse pitch configuration, it handles interrupted cuts and heavy stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1-inch diameter cutter carries 5 flutes and a bright, uncoated finish suited for applications where coating adhesion is not required. With a 2-inch length of cut and 4.5-inch overall length, it fits standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die shops use this style of end mill to rough out profiles before finishing passes.

This roughing end mill is intended for use in manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and similar setups requiring a 3/4-inch shank. The coarse pitch geometry breaks chips aggressively, reducing heat buildup and cutting forces during deep passes in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. It is a single-end, right-hand cut, right-hand flute tool with no extended reach. It is not center-cutting, so it is not suited for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole or ramp entry strategy.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in demanding milling applications
• 5-flute, coarse pitch design for aggressive chip breaking and reduced cutting pressure
• 1-inch milling diameter with a 3/4-inch shank for compatibility with standard collets and end mill holders
• 2-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth roughing passes
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry for standard spindle direction

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter, compatible with most vertical knee mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Secure the shank fully in the holder to the recommended engagement depth and verify runout before cutting. This tool is not center-cutting and requires a pre-drilled hole or ramped entry for pocket operations. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling.
