Value Collection 723-6727 Roughing End Mill 7/16 in 4 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6727 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tool delivers heat resistance and edge retention during heavy roughing cuts. The 7/16-inch cutting diameter and 1-inch length of cut make it well suited for slot milling, profiling, and hogging operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collets and end mill holders. With 4 flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, this mill provides a balance between chip evacuation and surface finish on roughing passes.

This roughing end mill is intended for use on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual or CNC milling machines in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. It is a single-end design, so both ends are not usable — the tool is replaced when the cutting end is worn. The 2-11/16-inch overall length keeps deflection manageable at this diameter. It is not center-cutting, so it cannot be plunged directly into solid material and requires a pre-drilled hole or ramping entry for pocket work. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in steel and cast iron applications
• 4-flute geometry balances chip clearance and rigidity for roughing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for use in conventional milling setups
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits common collet chucks and end mill holders
• Single-end design with 1-inch length of cut and 2-11/16-inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard roughing end mill replacement for use in milling machines accepting a 3/8-inch shank. No specific machine model or brand compatibility was stated by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool and die technician. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the machine tool manufacturer's specification. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. This tool is not center-cutting — do not attempt a direct plunge into solid material without a lead hole or ramp entry programmed into the toolpath.
