Value Collection 723-6735 Roughing End Mill 13/32 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6735 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 in demanding cutting environments. The cutter measures 13/32 inch (0.4063 inch) in diameter with a 3/8-inch shank diameter, a 1-inch length of cut, and a 2-11/16-inch overall length. With 4 right-hand flutes and right-hand cutting direction, it produces the chip-thinning and reduced contact that roughing geometry is known for. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill is a workhorse for first-pass stock removal on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This roughing end mill is suited for use in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers where rapid stock removal is the priority before finishing passes. The cobalt M42 substrate handles elevated cutting temperatures better than standard M2 HSS, making it appropriate for tougher steels and stainless alloys. The non-centercutting design means it should be fed into the work from the side rather than plunged axially. Its compact 2-11/16-inch overall length keeps it rigid in setups with limited clearance.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction resists heat and wear during aggressive roughing cuts
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life compared to uncoated HSS
• 4-flute, right-hand spiral geometry delivers efficient chip evacuation
• Single-end design with 1-inch length of cut and 2-11/16-inch overall length
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Non-centercutting — intended for peripheral and slot entry, not axial plunge cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank roughing end mill compatible with any milling machine or machining center that accepts a 3/8-inch collet, end mill holder, or Weldon-style tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine fully powered down and spindle locked. Ensure the shank is clean and seated fully in the holder before tightening to the appropriate holder specification. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not use it for axial plunge entries — always engage the cutter from the side or use a ramping toolpath. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
