Value Collection 724-1110 Roughing End Mill 1/2 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-1110 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. 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 extended tool life. It features a 1/2 inch cutting diameter, a 5/8 inch length of cut, and a 2-5/8 inch overall length. The 4-flute, right-hand cutting geometry delivers efficient chip evacuation and a stable cut under high feed rates. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry without a pre-drilled pilot hole.

This roughing end mill is suited for manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and bridgeport-style machines in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. It is a practical choice for roughing passes on steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar workpiece materials where material removal rate takes priority over surface finish. The 1/2 inch shank seats directly in standard ER, Weldon, or collet-style toolholders without adapters.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle operation
• 4 flutes provide a balance of chip clearance and edge strength for roughing passes
• Matched 1/2 inch cutting and shank diameter simplifies toolholder selection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for standard 1/2 inch collet, ER collet, or Weldon flat-shank toolholders used on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before loading or unloading the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder and torque the retention mechanism to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear and reduces surface quality.
