Value Collection 723-5850 Roughing End Mill 1-3/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5850 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other tough alloys. The mill measures 1.375 inches in diameter with a 0.75-inch shank, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 4.25-inch overall length. Six flutes and a bright uncoated finish make this tool well suited for roughing passes where chip evacuation and tool durability are the primary concerns. Machinists and toolroom operators use this end mill in vertical mills, machining centers, and knee mills.

This roughing end mill is intended for use in metal-cutting operations where stock removal rate is prioritized over surface finish. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction suit standard spindle configurations. The non-centercutting geometry means this tool is designed for peripheral and side milling rather than plunge cutting. It is appropriate for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments working with steel, alloy steel, and similar hard materials that benefit from the elevated heat resistance of cobalt tooling.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction provides superior heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS
• 1.375-inch diameter with 6 flutes for aggressive roughing and efficient chip clearing
• 2-inch length of cut accommodates deeper axial engagement in a single pass
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle setups
• Non-centercutting design optimized for side and peripheral milling operations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling machines accepting a 0.75-inch shank diameter end mill holder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists following standard toolroom practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before loading or removing any cutting tool. Seat the 0.75-inch shank fully and evenly in the collet or end mill holder and tighten to the holder manufacturer's specification. Do not use this tool for plunge cutting, as the non-centercutting geometry is not designed for axial entry.
