Value Collection 724-0233 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0233 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. The 1 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1.5 inch length of cut, allowing deep passes in a single setup. With 5 right-hand flutes and a bright, uncoated finish, this end mill is a go-to choice for machinists who need reliable stock removal on manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers.

This roughing end mill is suited for production and job-shop machining environments where interrupted cuts, slotting, and side milling in steel, stainless, and alloy materials are routine. The 0.75 inch shank diameter seats in standard end mill holders and collet chucks. Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry, adding flexibility to the setup. Single-end construction keeps the tool straightforward to index and replace. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals handling general-purpose milling work will find this a practical, dependable option.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• 5 flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use across a wide range of materials

• 1.5 inch length of cut supports deeper passes without tool change

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-shank roughing end mill with a 0.75 inch diameter shank, compatible with end mill holders, milling chucks, and collet systems sized for 3/4 inch shanks on manual or CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolroom safety practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before loading or unloading the end mill. Seat the shank to the recommended engagement depth in the holder and torque set screws or collet nuts per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting, and confirm workpiece fixturing is secure before initiating a cut.
