Value Collection 723-5747 Roughing End Mill 5/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5747 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for high-material-removal-rate milling operations in ferrous and hard alloy workpieces. Constructed from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it offers solid heat resistance and edge retention across demanding cutting applications. The 5/8 inch cutting diameter is matched by a 5/8 inch shank diameter, providing a rigid, balanced setup. With four flutes and a 3/4 inch length of cut, it is suited for roughing passes where chip evacuation and tool stability are the primary concerns. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this cutter.

This roughing end mill is suited for use in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers performing roughing passes on steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous alloys. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. Its single-end configuration and non-centercutting geometry are intended for peripheral and side-milling operations, not plunge cutting. It is a practical choice for job shops and production environments requiring consistent stock removal before finishing passes.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in tough materials
• 5/8 inch cutting diameter with matched 5/8 inch shank for rigid tool holding
• Four flutes with 3/4 inch length of cut for efficient chip removal on roughing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle use
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and coolant applications
• Non-centercutting, single-end design suited for peripheral and side-milling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank roughing end mill compatible with 5/8 inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting 5/8 inch straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing cutters. Seat the shank fully into the holder or collet to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after setup, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on roughing tools.
