Value Collection 724-0113 Roughing End Mill 1/2 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0113 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat and wear resistance suited for harder workpiece materials. The 1/2-inch diameter, 4-flute geometry with a bright, uncoated finish allows efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes. With a 1-inch length of cut and 3-inch overall length, this end mill fits standard milling setups in job shops, production floors, and toolroom environments. It is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals using CNC or manual milling machines.

This roughing end mill is suited for high-stock-removal operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including alloy steels and stainless. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional right-hand spindle setups. The 1/2-inch shank diameter matches standard collets and end mill holders. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entries where required. Typical applications include roughing pockets, slots, and profiling passes prior to finishing operations in both production and prototype work.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS
• 4-flute, right-hand geometry optimized for roughing and high-stock-removal passes
• Center-cutting design permits direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose roughing applications
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Single-end configuration for consistent tool holding and length repeatability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling machines accepting 1/2-inch shank end mills with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder before tightening to manufacturer torque specifications for the holder being used. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked before tool changes. Inspect the collet and holder for runout before beginning roughing operations to avoid premature tool wear or chatter.
