Value Collection 723-9050 Square End Mill 5mm 2 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-9050 is a cobalt square end mill designed for material removal and profiling in metalworking applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The cutter features a 5 mm (0.1969 inch) diameter with a 1/2 inch length of cut, a 30-degree right-hand helix, and two spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation. The bright/uncoated finish allows for direct inspection of the cutting edge and suits general-purpose milling without the need for specialized coatings. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this end mill in CNC and manual milling equipment for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling operations.

This end mill is suited for milling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Its regular-length geometry and single-end configuration make it appropriate for standard reach applications in both job shop and production environments. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits common collet and end mill holder systems. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional and climb milling setups on vertical and horizontal mills.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat resistance when cutting ferrous and high-temp alloys
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth chip flow and reduces chatter
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry into workpieces
• Bright/uncoated finish for visual edge inspection and general-purpose use
• Two spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation in slotting and profiling cuts
• Single-end configuration in a regular-length series for standard reach applications

Compatibility

Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. Fits standard collets and end mill holders accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention fastener per the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before committing to production cuts, and confirm feed rate and speed settings are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutter diameter.
