Value Collection 723-5734 Roughing End Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5734 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and left in a bright, uncoated finish, this tool delivers solid performance in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 1/2 inch diameter body carries four flutes with a right-hand cutting and flute direction. The length of cut is 1.625 inches with an overall length of 3.625 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals reach for roughing end mills like this when clearing large amounts of stock quickly before a finishing pass.

This roughing end mill suits vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills in job shop and production environments. With a 1/2 inch shank diameter matching the cutter diameter, it seats directly in standard 1/2 inch collets, end mill holders, or Weldon-style holders without an adapter. The non-centercutting geometry means it is intended for peripheral and slot roughing cuts, not plunge entry. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting rotation are standard for the majority of conventional and climb-milling setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS
• Four flutes with right-hand cutting and right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• 1/2 inch cutter diameter and 1/2 inch shank diameter for direct collet mounting
• 1.625 inch length of cut handles moderate-depth roughing passes
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Single-end design with non-centercutting tip geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill for any milling machine or machining center accepting a 1/2 inch straight shank in a standard collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism to the machine or toolholder specification. Inspect the tool for chips or cracks before use, and confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut.
