Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials while maintaining edge integrity under heat and load. The cutter measures 15\/32 inches (0.4688 inches decimal) in diameter with a 1\/2-inch shank diameter. It features 4 flutes with a right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction, a 1-1\/4 inch length of cut, and a 3-1\/4 inch overall length. This tool is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry in addition to standard peripheral milling passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill suits general machining work in job shops, maintenance shops, and production environments. It is used on manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and bridgeports where stock removal rate is prioritized over surface finish. The coarse geometry of a roughing end mill breaks chips aggressively, making it appropriate for roughing passes in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials before a finish end mill is used for final dimensions. The 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard ER or R8 collet systems commonly found in these machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life between regrinds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows plunge milling without a pilot hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand helix for conventional spindle use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-flute roughing geometry maximizes material removal rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch shank fits standard collet and end mill holder tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit roughing end mill for any milling machine or machining center equipped with a 1\/2-inch collet, end mill holder, or Weldon-style chuck.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use; do not run a damaged tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4688 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/4 inches\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\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\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: 724-1098\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700641825074,"sku":"724-1098","price":160.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/99ee728f5fc7f1499015c748010faeb3.jpg?v=1788393182","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-1098-roughing-end-mill-15-32-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
