Value Collection 724-0230 Roughing End Mill 1 in 6 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0230 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, it delivers the heat resistance and edge retention needed for tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1-inch cutting diameter pairs with a 3/4-inch shank diameter and a 1-1/8-inch length of cut, making it well suited for slotting and peripheral milling where chip clearance and cut stability matter. With 6 flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction, this end mill is a standard tool for machinists running production work on manual or CNC milling machines.

This roughing end mill is used in job shop and production machining environments where fast stock removal is the priority over fine surface finish. It is appropriate for both horizontal and vertical milling setups. The centercutting capability allows plunge milling in addition to standard peripheral and slot cutting. Typical users include machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with steel alloys, stainless, and similar hard materials on knee mills, bridgeports, and CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 6-flute geometry promotes high feed rates and efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand spiral for standard milling machine compatibility
• Single-end configuration with 3/4-inch shank for secure collet or end mill holder retention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock roughing end mill for use in any milling machine or machining center equipped with a collet, end mill holder, or similar tooling system accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the drawbar or set screws according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm that feed rate and spindle speed are set appropriately for the workpiece material and depth of cut.
