Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this tool delivers the heat and wear resistance needed when cutting harder metals or running at elevated feed rates. The 3-flute geometry with a bright, uncoated finish provides efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes. It carries a 1\/4 inch cutting diameter and a 5\/8 inch length of cut, making it well-suited for shallow-to-moderate depth roughing work. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators typically reach for this style of end mill when a carbide tool is not required or when working in interrupted cut situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis end mill is appropriate for general-purpose roughing operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in manual or CNC milling machines. The 3\/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders common in vertical machining centers and knee mills. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional milling setups. With an overall length of 2-7\/16 inches, the tool fits most standard tool holders without requiring extended-reach setups. It is a single-end tool, meaning it is not reversible once one end is worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt construction for improved heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute design promotes efficient chip flow during roughing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suits a wide range of materials and cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-center-cutting geometry — requires a pre-drilled or pre-milled entry point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end configuration for straightforward toolholder setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose roughing end mill compatible with standard collets and end mill holders accepting a 3\/8 inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines, knee mills, and CNC machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the 3\/8 inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification. Because this is a non-center-cutting tool, it cannot plunge directly into solid material — use a pre-drilled hole or ramp entry. Inspect the shank and cutting edges for damage before each use and confirm tool runout is within acceptable limits before beginning a cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.25 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eCentercutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\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: 0.06 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: 724-2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722636656946,"sku":"724-2020","price":68.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3f59be353292880c94e18d307e174ea6.jpg?v=1788593810","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-2020-roughing-end-mill-1-4-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
