Value Collection 724-0062 Roughing End Mill 11/32 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0062 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. It measures 11/32 inch (0.3438 inch decimal) in cutting diameter with a 3/4 inch length of cut and a 3/8 inch shank diameter. The overall length is 2-1/2 inches. Three right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction provide efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes. Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry when required.

This roughing end mill is suited for use in vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. It is a practical choice for roughing operations on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials where fast stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. The 3/8 inch shank fits standard ER collets, end mill holders, and Weldon-style side-lock holders common across most shop setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• 3 right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip clearance during roughing
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids and oils
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits widely available collet and holder systems
• Single-end configuration with 3/4 inch length of cut and 2-1/2 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end roughing end mill with a 3/8 inch shank, compatible with ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and side-lock holders sized for 3/8 inch shank tooling on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and toolroom technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet or holder and torque the retention nut or screw to the holder specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before use, and apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life.
