Value Collection 724-0290 Roughing End Mill 1-1/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0290 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright/uncoated finish, it delivers the heat and wear resistance needed for harder workpiece materials. The cutter features a 1.25-inch (1-1/4 inch) diameter, 6 flutes, a 2-inch length of cut, and a 0.75-inch (3/4 inch) shank diameter. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard. Centercutting capability allows plunge entry. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill for roughing passes where high material removal rate is the priority.

This roughing end mill is suited for use on manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and similar milling machines in job shops and production environments. Its cobalt M42 construction makes it appropriate for cutting alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The 6-flute geometry distributes cutting load across more edges, reducing chatter and extending tool life during heavy roughing passes. The 4-1/4 inch overall length fits standard toolholding setups without requiring extended-reach configurations.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat resistance and hardness
• 6-flute design distributes cutting forces and improves surface finish during roughing
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without a pilot hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard spindle setups
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on a wide range of ferrous materials
• Single-end design with 3/4 inch shank for secure toolholder clamping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill compatible with standard 3/4 inch ID toolholders, collet chucks, and end mill holders used on vertical and horizontal milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with tool setup and speeds-and-feeds selection. Secure the shank fully into the toolholder to the recommended gauge-line depth and torque set screws or collet nuts per the toolholder manufacturer specifications before running the spindle. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and depth of cut before engaging the cutter. Always wear appropriate PPE and ensure machine guards are in place during operation.
