Value Collection 723-5796 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5796 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces where thermal resistance and edge hardness are critical. It features a 1-inch cutting diameter, 5 flutes, and a 3-inch length of cut, making it well suited for deep slotting, profiling, and roughing passes where chip evacuation and tool rigidity are priorities. Machinists and tool-and-die shops rely on cobalt-grade roughing mills when production cutting demands edge retention beyond standard HSS tooling.

This roughing end mill is intended for use on vertical and horizontal milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers performing roughing operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional milling setups. With a 3/4-inch shank diameter and 5-1/4-inch overall length, this tool fits standard ER and end mill holders used across most shop floors. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for job shops, maintenance machining, and production environments requiring a capable roughing geometry at a moderate tool investment.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for increased heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 5-flute roughing geometry accelerates material removal while reducing chatter
• 1-inch cutting diameter with 3-inch length of cut for deep roughing passes
• 3/4-inch shank diameter fits standard end mill and collet holders
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for conventional milling setups
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating thickness to affect dimensional fit in tight-tolerance holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct drop-in roughing end mill for standard milling setups requiring a 1-inch diameter, 3/4-inch shank, single-end cobalt roughing tool with right-hand geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Power down and lock out the milling machine spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the end mill holder or collet and torque the retention hardware to the holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, and confirm workpiece fixturing is secure prior to engaging the roughing pass.
