Value Collection 724-0170 Roughing End Mill 3/4 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0170 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Constructed from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers durability and heat resistance during heavy cuts. The 3/4-inch diameter cutter features 3 flutes with a right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction, offering a balance between chip evacuation and cutting efficiency. Center-cutting capability allows the tool to plunge directly into the workpiece. This end mill is handled by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in both job shop and production environments.

This roughing end mill suits applications where rapid stock removal is the priority over surface finish. The 3/4-inch length of cut and 3/4-inch shank diameter make it a straightforward fit for standard milling chucks and collet holders. It is used in vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills. The M42 cobalt material grade provides added toughness compared to standard M2 HSS, making it a practical choice for harder ferrous alloys and stainless materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling technicians. Always power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing end mills. Secure the shank fully within the holder to the recommended grip depth and torque the set screw or collet nut per the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before each use.
