Value Collection 723-6540 Corner Rounding End Mill 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6540 is a single-end corner rounding end mill designed to machine smooth, radiused edges on metal workpieces. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter handles tough alloys and abrasive materials that would wear out standard HSS tooling prematurely. It produces a 17/32 inch radius profile with a 1-1/2 inch cutter diameter and four right-hand flutes that deliver efficient chip evacuation and a clean finish. The bright, uncoated finish makes it straightforward to inspect for wear. This tool is suited for machinists, toolmakers, and CNC or manual mill operators working in job shops, production environments, or maintenance departments.

This end mill is used for edge-breaking and corner-rounding operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and harder alloy materials where a precise, repeatable radius is required. The 3/4 inch shank diameter fits standard R8, CAT, BT, and other common milling machine collets and chucks. It is appropriate for both CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills. Typical applications include finishing structural components, mold and die work, and any operation where a 17/32 inch radius must be held consistently across a production run.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• 17/32 inch corner radius for consistent, repeatable edge profiling
• 1-1/2 inch cutter diameter with 4 right-hand flutes for efficient chip removal
• 3/4 inch shank diameter for broad collet and chuck compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edges
• Single-end design — one cutting end for straightforward tool management

Compatibility

Designed as a standard corner rounding end mill with a 3/4 inch shank, suitable for use in milling machines and machining centers equipped with collets, end mill holders, or chucks accepting that shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder before tightening to prevent runout and tool pullout during cutting. Follow the machine manufacturer and applicable shop-safety guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to cobalt HSS tooling and the workpiece material.
