Value Collection 724-0341 Roughing End Mill 1-1/2 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0341 is a single-end cobalt 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 ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other tough alloys. The mill measures 1.5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch shank, a 4-inch length of cut, and a 6.5-inch overall length. Six flutes provide a balance of chip evacuation and cutting stability during heavy roughing passes. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose machining where coating is not required.

This end mill is used in manual and CNC vertical milling machines for roughing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry, giving machinists flexibility in their tool paths. It is well-suited for job shops, tool rooms, and production environments where high-removal-rate roughing is a regular operation. The right-hand cut and right-hand spiral are standard for conventional milling machine setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Six right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for efficient chip removal
• Center-cutting design permits direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish for general-purpose roughing on a wide range of metals
• 1.25-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders
• Single-end configuration for straightforward toolholder installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 1.25-inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines and machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized end mill holder or collet to the torque specification required by the holder manufacturer. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
