Value Collection 723-6703 Roughing End Mill 3/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6703 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it delivers solid wear resistance and heat tolerance in demanding cutting applications. The cutter measures 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) in diameter with a 3/8 inch shank diameter, a 1/2 inch length of cut, and a 2-3/8 inch overall length. Four right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction make it suitable for conventional milling setups on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills alike.

This roughing end mill is intended for use in metalworking and machining environments where rapid stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. Its cobalt construction makes it well suited for cutting alloy steels, stainless steels, and other tough ferrous materials. The non-centercutting design means it is not intended for plunge cutting and should be entered into the workpiece from the side or through a pre-drilled hole. Machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople working in job shops, production facilities, or maintenance departments are the primary users.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction during cutting
• 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) mill diameter with 1/2 inch length of cut
• 3/8 inch shank diameter for standard collet or end mill holder fitment
• 4-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand helix configuration
• Single-end, non-centercutting design optimized for side milling and roughing passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter on CNC machining centers and conventional knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in a collet or end mill holder rated for the shank diameter to prevent tool pull-out under load. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not plunge directly into solid material — use a ramping or side-entry approach instead.
