Value Collection 723-5537 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5537 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 bright, uncoated finish, it features a coarse-pitch, 5-flute geometry that breaks chips efficiently and reduces cutting forces on the workpiece. The 1-inch cutting diameter is matched by a 1-inch shank diameter, and the 4-inch length of cut supports deep-pocket and slotting work. This tool is intended for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual mills or CNC machining centers where roughing passes demand durability and heat resistance.

This end mill suits roughing applications in ferrous and harder materials where cobalt tooling outperforms standard high-speed steel. Typical use cases include roughing passes on steel, stainless, and cast iron in job shop, production, and maintenance-repair environments. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional vertical and horizontal milling setups. It is a single-end tool, so it is replaced rather than reground at the opposite end when worn.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 5-flute coarse-pitch design promotes aggressive chip evacuation during roughing passes
• 1-inch cutting diameter with 4-inch length of cut for deep-pocket capability
• Matched 1-inch shank diameter for rigid, low-runout tool holding
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling setups
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in a wide range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 1-inch collet or end mill holders on vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers requiring a single-end, right-hand cut tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the 1-inch shank in a properly sized end mill holder or collet and torque the retention fastener per the holder manufacturer specification. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are set for cobalt roughing tooling and the selected workpiece material before engaging the cut. Do not use this tool in a center-cutting application, as it is not center-cutting capable.
