Value Collection 723-9140 Square End Mill 14mm 2 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 723-9140 is a 2-flute cobalt square end mill designed for material removal and profiling operations in ferrous and high-strength workpieces. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling. The cutter measures 14 mm (0.5512 inches) in diameter with a 1-1/8 inch length of cut and a 1/2 inch shank diameter. Overall length is 3-1/8 inches. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating adhesion is not required and re-sharpening is anticipated. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual and CNC milling equipment.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys. The single-end, right-hand cut configuration with a 30-degree spiral helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The regular-length body and 1/2 inch shank make it compatible with standard ER, Weldon, and other common milling chucks used in both vertical and horizontal setups. It is part of the Series VCCC-C-2 metric line.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat resistance in tough ferrous materials
• 2-flute geometry provides chip clearance for slotting and plunge operations
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting and efficient chip removal
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling capability
• Bright/uncoated finish supports re-sharpening and suits lubricated cutting environments
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation

Compatibility

Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys (ISO material codes P, M, K, and S). Designed for use in standard 1/2 inch milling chucks and collet holders on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the milling spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Verify shank seating depth and runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety codes when setting feeds, speeds, and depth of cut for the workpiece material.
