Value Collection 723-6808 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6808 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 titanium nitride (TiN) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with extended tool life compared to standard HSS. The 1-inch diameter cutting head features 5 flutes configured for right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction. With a 4-inch length of cut and 6.5-inch overall length, it suits deep-pocket and full-depth slotting applications on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

This roughing end mill is intended for use in professional machining environments including job shops, maintenance facilities, and production floors. The non-centercutting geometry makes it suited for peripheral milling and side cutting rather than plunge operations. The TiN coating reduces friction and heat buildup at the cutting edge, extending service intervals in continuous-cut scenarios on steel, cast iron, and alloy materials. A licensed machinist or toolroom technician is the typical end user.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous cutting applications
• 5-flute design increases chip load capacity and surface finish quality during roughing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• Single-end configuration with 1-inch shank diameter matching the cutting diameter
• Non-centercutting geometry suited for peripheral and side milling, not direct plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard milling machine spindles accepting a 1-inch straight shank end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a milling machine spindle with a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for a 1-inch shank diameter. Power down the machine and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tightening to minimize premature edge wear. Do not use as a plunge mill due to the non-centercutting end geometry.
