Value Collection 724-0347 Roughing End Mill 1.5in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-0347 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers durability and heat resistance in demanding cutting environments. The cutter measures 1.5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch shank diameter, a 6-inch length of cut, and an 8.5-inch overall length. With 6 right-hand flutes and centercutting capability, it handles both peripheral and plunge cuts. This tool is a standard choice for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This roughing end mill is suited for use in vertical and horizontal milling machines in job shops, production machining, and maintenance environments. The coarse geometry of roughing flutes accelerates stock removal rates compared to standard finishing end mills. Its single-end design and M42 grade cobalt construction make it appropriate for interrupted cuts, hard alloys, and high-temperature alloys where standard HSS tooling would wear prematurely. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with conventional milling machine spindle rotation.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 6 right-hand roughing flutes for high material removal rates
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry
• 1.5-inch cutter diameter with 1.25-inch shank for rigid tool-holder fit
• 6-inch length of cut accommodates deep-reach milling operations
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tool for milling machine setups requiring a 1.25-inch shank single-end roughing end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Always power down and lock out the milling machine spindle before changing tooling. Verify tool-holder collet or end mill adapter matches the 1.25-inch shank diameter before tightening. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
