Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. It features a 1\/4 inch (0.25 inch) mill diameter, a 3\/8 inch shank diameter, and a 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inch) length of cut. With 3 flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, it is suited for hogging stock quickly before finish passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill is used in manual and CNC milling applications across job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral roughing cuts in steel, stainless, and other hard materials. The single-end configuration makes it a straightforward drop-in for standard end mill holders and collet chucks with a 3\/8 inch bore. It is not center-cutting, so plunge entry is not recommended without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation and cutting efficiency during roughing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard spindle setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 3\/8 inch shank for use in standard collet chucks and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-center-cutting — suitable for peripheral and slot entry, not plunge cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3\/8 inch shank diameter, compatible with manual knee mills and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Secure the shank fully within the collet or end mill holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Because this tool is not center-cutting, avoid direct plunge moves; use ramping or helical entry strategies instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable Helix\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.08 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 723-6708\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694670643506,"sku":"723-6708","price":62.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1dfd5e5084a09c593320dbcf3011d5ef.jpg?v=1788326943","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-723-6708-roughing-end-mill-1-4-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
