Value Collection 724-1200 Roughing End Mill 13/16 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-1200 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with improved wear resistance and heat tolerance. The cutter measures 13/16 inch (0.8125 inch) in diameter with a 3/4-inch shank diameter, a 1-7/8-inch length of cut, and a 4-1/8-inch overall length. Four right-hand flutes with a right-hand cutting direction provide efficient chip evacuation during heavy stock removal operations.

This roughing end mill is suited for manual mills, CNC machining centers, and knee mills used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. Its center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting, making it adaptable to slotting, ramping, and profile roughing passes. Typical applications include roughing steel, stainless, and alloy materials where rapid material removal rates are the priority before a finish pass.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction during cutting
• Center-cutting design permits plunge milling and ramping entry
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute geometry for standard spindle operation
• 4 flutes with roughing profile for high material removal rates
• 3/4-inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit roughing end mill for machines accepting a 3/4-inch shank, including standard R8, ER, and CAT tooling systems commonly found on vertical machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism according to the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, and confirm correct runout with a dial indicator prior to cutting.
