Value Collection 724-0197 Roughing End Mill 3/4 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0197 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. 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 features a 3/4-inch cutting diameter, four flutes, and a 4.125-inch length of cut, with a 6.375-inch overall length. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece.

This end mill is suited for roughing passes in job shop, production machining, and maintenance environments. The cobalt M42 construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it a practical choice for cutting alloy steels, stainless steel, and other harder materials. It is typically installed in milling machines, machining centers, or knee mills by machinists and tool and die professionals performing roughing operations prior to a finish pass.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat resistance and tool life over standard HSS
• 4-flute, single-end design optimized for roughing and high material removal rates
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge milling directly into stock
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for a wide range of metalworking applications
• 3/4-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard 3/4-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, or milling adapters on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's tooling and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the end mill. Use a properly sized end mill holder or collet to achieve full shank engagement and minimize runout. Inspect the cutting edges and shank for damage before each use.
