Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with good heat resistance and edge retention. The 3\/16 inch cutting diameter and 4-flute geometry produce a characteristic corncob profile that breaks chips into smaller segments, reducing cutting forces and heat buildup during heavy roughing passes. It is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual mills or CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is applied in roughing operations where stock removal rate matters more than surface finish. The 1\/2 inch length of cut and 3\/8 inch shank diameter make it practical for shallow-to-medium-depth slots, pockets, and profile cuts in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling on vertical knee mills and CNC machining centers. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled start hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for elevated heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute roughing geometry breaks chips efficiently and lowers cutting forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design permits direct plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard milling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 3\/8 inch shank for rigid tool holding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard single-end roughing end mill with a 3\/8 inch straight shank, compatible with ER collets, end mill holders, and set-screw holders sized for 3\/8 inch tooling on vertical mills and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Secure the shank fully into the tool holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth and verify runout before cutting. Power down the spindle and engage any machine lock before changing tooling. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.5000 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 724-1008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51711359746354,"sku":"724-1008","price":66.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/63942d3fb622aed203e9e3cc72a576f4.jpg?v=1788475972","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-1008-roughing-end-mill-3-16-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
