Value Collection 723-5801 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5801 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers durability and heat resistance in demanding cutting applications. The 5-flute configuration removes more material per pass compared to standard 3- or 4-flute designs. With a 1 inch cutting diameter and a 1.125 inch length of cut, this tool suits roughing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is sized for use in standard milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills where a 1 inch shank is compatible with the collet or end mill holder.

This roughing end mill is suited for production and job shop environments where stock removal rate and tool life are priorities. It is appropriate for milling steel, alloy steels, stainless steel, and similar materials where cobalt tooling is preferred over standard HSS. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional milling setups. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual or CNC milling equipment.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• 5-flute design increases feed rate and material removal efficiency
• 1 inch diameter with matching 1 inch shank diameter for direct collet or holder fitment
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose roughing operations
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for conventional milling compatibility
• Single-end design with non-center-cutting geometry — requires a pre-drilled or pre-milled entry point

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose roughing end mill for use in milling machines and machining centers that accept a 1 inch shank diameter via standard collet chucks or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with end mill tooling and milling machine setup. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. This tool is not center-cutting and cannot plunge directly into solid material — use a pre-drilled hole or ramp entry. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting speeds and feeds for cobalt tooling.
