Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials while maintaining edge integrity at elevated cutting temperatures. The 1\/2 inch diameter, 4-flute geometry with a 3 inch length of cut and 5 inch overall length makes it well-suited for deep-pocket roughing passes where chip load management and tool rigidity are both critical. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill fits standard milling setups without special adapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill is used in manual and CNC vertical milling operations where rapid stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction suit conventional and climb milling on knee mills and machining centers alike. The 1\/2 inch shank diameter matches standard collet chucks and end mill holders common in most machine shops. Center-cutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt steel construction for heat and wear resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 right-hand flutes with roughing geometry for high material removal rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without piloting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration with 3 inch length of cut for deep-pocket work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard addition for 1\/2 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on vertical knee mills and CNC machining centers requiring a single-end roughing end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the end mill from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully engaged in the collet or holder to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for damage before each use; a chipped roughing end mill can cause workpiece damage and unsafe cutting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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)\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: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 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: 724-1128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51693729153330,"sku":"724-1128","price":120.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f04576e912d6b236b7f572264deb3218.jpg?v=1788316638","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-1128-roughing-end-mill-1-2-in-4-flute","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
