Value Collection 723-5714 Roughing End Mill 5/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5714 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 and wear resistance suited for harder workpiece materials. The 5/16 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 7/16 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. Three right-hand flutes with a right-hand cutting direction generate the chip-breaking action that roughing geometry is known for. The bright, uncoated finish keeps this mill ready for general-purpose roughing passes without coating buildup concerns.

This end mill fits standard vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills. It is suited for roughing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where high material removal rate is the priority over finish quality. The 2-3/16 inch overall length accommodates typical shallow-pocket and slot roughing work. Machinists, toolroom operators, and job-shop technicians working with steel, stainless, or cast iron will find this a practical single-use roughing tool. It is not center-cutting, so plunging is not recommended without a pre-drilled entry point.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated heat resistance during heavy cuts
• 3-flute roughing geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose roughing applications
• 3/8 inch shank diameter for use in standard end mill holders and collets
• Non-center-cutting design intended for side milling and slotting entries only
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional milling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling operations requiring a 5/16 inch single-end roughing end mill with a 3/8 inch shank in a right-hand configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom operator. Secure the shank in a properly sized end mill holder or collet and torque the drawbar or collet nut per the machine manufacturer specification. Confirm spindle is fully stopped and machine is powered down before changing tooling. Because this mill is not center-cutting, always use a pre-drilled hole or ramp entry when beginning a pocket cut.
