Value Collection 723-6811 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-6811 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials with extended tool life compared to standard HSS tooling. The 1-inch diameter cutter features 5 flutes with a right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction, a 6-inch length of cut, and an 8.5-inch overall length. The 1-inch shank diameter provides solid holding in standard end mill holders. This tool is suited for machinists and toolroom professionals working with mills, machining centers, and manual knee mills.

This roughing end mill is intended for hogging operations where large chip loads and fast stock removal are the priority. The TiN coating reduces friction and improves wear resistance during prolonged cutting passes. With a non-centercutting geometry, it is designed for side milling and peripheral cuts rather than plunge entry. Typical applications include roughing passes on steel alloys, stainless, and cast iron before a finishing end mill is used to bring the workpiece to final dimension. The 6-inch length of cut allows reach into deeper pockets or along tall workpiece profiles.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN (titanium nitride) coating reduces friction and extends tool life
• 5-flute geometry increases contact per revolution for faster material removal
• 6-inch length of cut suits deep pocket and long-profile milling operations
• Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Single-end design with 1-inch shank for use in standard end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill for standard 1-inch end mill holders and collet systems used on vertical milling machines and machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerances. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated to the recommended engagement depth in the holder before tightening. Do not use this tool for plunge entry, as it is a non-centercutting design.
