Value Collection 723-5802 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5802 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 1-inch diameter tool features 5 flutes with a right-hand cutting and flute direction, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 4.5-inch overall length. It is not center-cutting and does not feature extended reach or variable helix geometry. This end mill is typically installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual or CNC milling equipment.

This roughing end mill is suited for hogging operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where high chip load and fast stock removal are the priority. The cobalt M42 construction handles elevated cutting temperatures better than standard HSS, making it appropriate for harder steels and stainless alloys. With a 1-inch shank diameter matching the cutting diameter, it mounts directly into standard 1-inch collets, end mill holders, or Weldon-style tool holders on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 5-flute configuration increases feed rate capability and improves surface finish relative to 4-flute roughers
• 1-inch cutting diameter with matching 1-inch shank for rigid, concentric tool holding
• 2-inch length of cut accommodates medium-depth roughing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry cutting depending on application

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit roughing end mill for standard 1-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and Weldon-style holders on vertical or horizontal milling machines requiring a single-end, right-hand cutting tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the tool holder and torque set screws or collet nuts to the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting when tight tolerances are required.
