Value Collection 723-5782 Roughing End Mill 7/8 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5782 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Constructed from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 0.875 inches in diameter with a 3/4-inch shank diameter, a 3.5-inch length of cut, and a 5-3/4-inch overall length. The 5-flute geometry produces a fine chip pattern and reduced cutting forces compared to standard end mills, making it well suited for roughing passes on ferrous metals, stainless steels, and other demanding workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This roughing end mill is intended for use in manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and similar milling equipment where a 3/4-inch tool holder or collet is available. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. The non-centercutting design means it requires a pre-drilled entry point or side-entry ramping rather than plunge cutting. It is appropriate for roughing operations in job shop, production, and maintenance-repair-overhaul environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• 5-flute design for improved feed rates and smoother chip evacuation during roughing
• 0.875-inch (7/8-inch) cutter diameter with 3.5-inch length of cut
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for secure seating in standard tool holders
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready to use as supplied or to be coated by the end user

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling machines and machining centers that accept a 3/4-inch shank end mill via collet, end mill holder, or side-lock holder. Non-centercutting; not suitable for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the holder manufacturer, and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Do not use this end mill for plunge cuts, as the non-centercutting geometry is not designed for axial entry into solid material.
