Value Collection 723-5880 Roughing End Mill 1-3/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-5880 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, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where high heat resistance is required. It features a 1.75-inch (1-3/4 inch) cutting diameter, a 1.25-inch (1-1/4 inch) shank diameter, and a 2-inch length of cut, with a 4.5-inch overall length. The 6-flute roughing geometry produces a chip-breaking cut that reduces cutting forces and allows higher feed rates compared to standard end mills. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople, this mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills alike.

This end mill is appropriate for roughing passes in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments. Its right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction suit standard spindle configurations on vertical milling machines and machining centers. The cobalt M42 substrate provides improved red hardness over standard M2 high-speed steel, making it a practical choice when machining harder alloys, stainless steels, or work-hardening materials where carbide tooling is not required. It is not center-cutting, so it requires a pre-drilled or pre-bored entry point before plunging.

Key Features

• 1-3/4 inch (1.75 inches) cutting diameter with 1-1/4 inch (1.25 inches) shank diameter
• 6-flute roughing geometry for high material removal rates and reduced cutting forces
• M42 cobalt high-speed steel substrate for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Single-end design with 2-inch length of cut and 4.5-inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard R8, CAT, BT, or straight-shank toolholders accepting a 1-1/4 inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or trained toolroom operator should install and set this end mill. Power down the spindle and lock out the machine before changing tooling. Verify the toolholder bore and collet size match the 1.25-inch shank before clamping. Because this mill is not center-cutting, avoid direct plunge entry; use a ramp, helical, or pre-bored entry path to prevent tool damage.
