Value Collection 723-6725 Roughing End Mill 11/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6725 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, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials at elevated cutting temperatures. It features a 11/32-inch (0.3438-inch decimal) cutting diameter, a 3/4-inch length of cut, and a 3/8-inch shank diameter. The 2-1/2-inch overall length suits standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. With 3 right-hand flutes and a right-hand cutting direction, it drives chips out efficiently during roughing passes.

This end mill is suited for machining operations that require high stock removal rates before finish passes. It performs in general-purpose shop environments on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for peripheral milling and slotting entry from the side, not for direct plunge cutting. No extended reach and no variable helix keep deflection predictable during heavy roughing cuts on steel, stainless, and similar materials.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 11/32-inch (0.3438-inch) cutting diameter with 3/4-inch length of cut
• 3/8-inch shank diameter for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility
• 3-flute right-hand geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during roughing
• Single-end configuration — one active cutting end per tool

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the set screw or collet nut according to the holder manufacturer specification. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not use it for direct axial plunge cuts — enter the workpiece from the side or use a ramping or helical entry path.
