Value Collection 723-6712 Roughing End Mill 9/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6712 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. It features a 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch decimal) cutting diameter ground from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, delivering hardness and heat resistance that outlasts standard HSS tooling in demanding cuts. A titanium nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life. With a 3-flute geometry and 3/4 inch length of cut, this tool is built for hogging operations where chip evacuation and cutting efficiency matter. It is a right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration and is not center-cutting.

This roughing end mill suits CNC and manual milling applications in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is appropriate for cutting ferrous metals, alloy steels, and other materials where cobalt tooling is preferred over carbide for its toughness under interrupted cuts or variable stock conditions. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in vertical mills and machining centers. It ships individually and has a minimum order quantity of one.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance beyond standard HSS
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 3-flute roughing geometry promotes aggressive chip removal and efficient hogging
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits common collet chucks and end mill holders
• Single-end design; not center-cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit roughing end mill for standard 3/8 inch end mill holders, ER collet systems, and side-lock holders used in vertical machining centers and knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool installation and before initiating a cut. Follow machine manufacturer torque specifications for the collet nut or set screw; do not exceed holder-rated clamping torque.
