Value Collection 723-5862 Roughing End Mill 1.5in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5862 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 1.5 inches in cutting diameter with a 1.25-inch shank diameter. The 6-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with a 3-inch length of cut and 5.5-inch overall length makes it well suited for hogging material quickly while maintaining tool rigidity. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals working with ferrous and other tough materials on vertical or horizontal milling machines.

This end mill fits applications where rapid stock removal is prioritized over finish quality. The roughing profile reduces chatter and cutting forces compared to standard end mills, making it a practical choice for roughing passes on steel, stainless, and similar hard alloys. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for peripheral milling rather than plunge cutting. It is a single-end tool, so once the cutting end is worn, the tool is replaced rather than flipped.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 6-flute roughing geometry reduces cutting forces and minimizes chatter on heavy passes
• 1.5-inch cutting diameter with a 1.25-inch shank diameter for secure tool holding
• 3-inch length of cut and 5.5-inch overall length suit deep-cavity roughing setups
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• Bright, uncoated finish — compatible with most cutting fluids and coolants

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling option for standard milling machines accepting a 1.25-inch shank diameter end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the 1.25-inch shank in a properly sized end mill holder or collet chuck and torque the retention hardware according to the machine manufacturer's specifications. Confirm spindle direction matches the right-hand cutting orientation before engaging the workpiece. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not use it for direct plunge entries into solid material.
