Value Collection 724-0272 Roughing End Mill 1 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0272 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 5-flute design with a bright, uncoated finish balances chip evacuation with a strong cutting edge. With a 1 inch diameter, 6 inch length of cut, and 8.5 inch overall length, this tool suits deep-pocket milling and heavy hogging operations where standard end mills fall short. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard on this tool.

This roughing end mill is suited for job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments running manual knee mills, CNC vertical machining centers, or bridgeport-style equipment. It is a practical choice for machinists removing large volumes of material quickly before a finish pass. The 1 inch shank diameter matches standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in production setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 tools
• 5-flute geometry supports aggressive stock removal with adequate chip clearance
• 6 inch length of cut enables deep-pocket and long-reach milling
• Centercutting design allows plunge milling entry
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for compatibility with standard spindle direction

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or standard tooling option for 1 inch shank milling operations on vertical machining centers and manual mills accepting straight-shank end mills in side-lock, collet, or Weldon-flat toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholding specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before loading or removing the tool. Confirm the shank is seated and clamped to the appropriate projection length for the depth of cut intended. Always verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
