Value Collection 723-6726 Roughing End Mill 3/8 in 4 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6726 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 extended tool life under heavy cutting loads. The 3/8 inch diameter cutter features 4 flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, making it suited for conventional roughing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. With a 1.125 inch length of cut and 2.9375 inch overall length, it fits standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this cutter.

This roughing end mill is used in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments where rapid stock removal is required before a finishing pass. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders. Its non-centercutting geometry means it is intended for side milling and peripheral roughing cuts rather than plunge entry. The TiN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance, extending intervals between tool changes during high-feed operations.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting tool life
• 4 flutes with right-hand cutting and flute direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Single-end design with 1.125 inch length of cut for controlled depth passes
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Non-centercutting geometry optimized for peripheral and side roughing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock roughing end mill for milling machines accepting a 3/8 inch shank with a matching collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing end mills. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism per the machine manufacturer's guidelines. Inspect the collet for wear before installation to prevent runout that can accelerate tool wear or cause premature breakage.
