Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 0.625 inches in cutting diameter with a 2.125-inch length of cut and a 4.25-inch overall length. The 4-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with right-hand flute direction produces the serrated chip-breaking profile characteristic of roughing end mills, reducing cutting forces and heat buildup during heavy stock removal passes. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this cutter in vertical mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers for roughing operations on ferrous and nonferrous workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill suits roughing applications in job shops, maintenance toolrooms, and production environments where high material removal rates are required before a finishing pass. The 5\/8-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter, allowing direct installation in standard 5\/8-inch collets or end mill holders without a reducer. It is center-cutting, making it capable of plunging directly into the workpiece when the operation requires it. Typical materials include steel alloys, stainless steel, and cast iron, where cobalt tooling provides superior heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute roughing geometry reduces cutting forces and minimizes chatter during heavy passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatched shank and cutting diameter at 0.625 inches for direct collet mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill for standard 5\/8-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and Weldon-style holders used in vertical and CNC milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing cutters. Seat the shank fully into the holder and torque the set screw or collet nut according to the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and select appropriate cutting parameters based on workpiece material and machine rigidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 724-0152\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692801065266,"sku":"724-0152","price":126.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b932918890620a973f5d9e0170e9d68a.jpg?v=1788303128","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-0152-roughing-end-mill-5-8-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
