Value Collection 724-1230 Roughing End Mill 1 in 6 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-1230 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Manufactured 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 inch cutting diameter, 6 flutes for efficient chip evacuation, and a 1.125 inch length of cut. The center-cutting design allows for direct plunge entry. This end mill is suited for use in manual mills and CNC machining centers operated by machinists and toolroom professionals.

The 724-1230 is appropriate for roughing passes in ferrous metals, stainless steels, and high-temperature alloys where M42 cobalt provides the heat and wear resistance needed to maintain edge integrity. The 3/4 inch shank diameter fits standard R8, CAT, BT, and similar toolholders common in job shop and production environments. With a 3.375 inch overall length, it suits most standard vertical and horizontal milling setups. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are the conventional orientation for typical milling operations.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat resistance and edge retention over standard HSS
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in ferrous materials
• 6-flute geometry provides higher feed rates and improved surface finish on roughing passes
• Center-cutting capable — supports direct plunge milling without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction for standard milling setups
• 3/4 inch shank diameter fits common milling toolholders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end roughing end mill with a 3/4 inch shank, compatible with R8, CAT, BT, and ER collet toolholding systems that accept a 3/4 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Confirm the shank is fully seated and the toolholder is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification before operation. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use and replace the tool when edge condition degrades to avoid workpiece damage or tool breakage.
