Value Collection 724-0314 Roughing End Mill 1-1/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0314 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for high-material-removal-rate milling operations in metalworking environments. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. The cutter measures 1.25 inches in diameter with a matching 1.25-inch shank diameter, a 6-inch length of cut, and an 8.5-inch overall length. Six flutes and a right-hand cutting and flute direction deliver aggressive chip evacuation and reduced chatter during roughing passes. Center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.

This end mill is suited for roughing passes on milling machines, machining centers, and manual knee mills in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. The M42 cobalt grade offers improved heat resistance over standard M2 HSS, making it a practical choice when machining alloy steels, stainless steel, and other harder work materials that generate elevated cutting temperatures. It is a single-end tool, so the full length of cut is available from one end only. Machinists and toolroom operators are the typical end users for this diameter class.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• 6-flute geometry promotes high material removal rates and smooth chip flow
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle setups
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready to use as supplied or suitable for re-coating
• Matched 1.25-inch shank and cutter diameter simplifies tool holding selection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-application roughing end mill for standard milling machine spindles and toolholders accepting a 1.25-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized end mill holder, collet chuck, or side-lock holder rated for the 1.25-inch shank diameter, and verify runout before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for tool overhang and cutting parameters.
