Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 1.25-inch length of cut and a 3.25-inch overall length. The four-flute, right-hand cutting and flute geometry channels chips efficiently while the cobalt composition resists heat and wear under heavy feed rates. This tool is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual or CNC milling machines where roughing passes demand durability over fine surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill is intended for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where rapid stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. The 0.5-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks, end mill holders, and side-lock arbors commonly found in knee mills and machining centers. It is not center-cutting, so it is not suited for plunge milling. The right-hand flute direction and right-hand cut make it compatible with standard spindle rotation on conventional milling setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour flutes with right-hand cut and right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation on roughing passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid on a wide range of materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.5-inch shank diameter matches the 0.5-inch mill diameter for direct collet or end mill holder mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 1.25-inch length of cut and 3.25-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot center-cutting — designed for peripheral and slot milling, not plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 0.5-inch shank roughing end mill compatible with ER32 collet chucks, end mill holders, and side-lock arbors accepting a 0.5-inch straight shank on manual knee mills and CNC vertical machining centers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerance. Power down and lock out the spindle before seating or removing the end mill from any holder. Ensure the shank is clean and free of chips or burrs before tightening the collet or set screw to the holder manufacturer's specified procedure. Verify tool projection and runout with a dial indicator 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: 0.5 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\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 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 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eSingle or Double End\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\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: 0.16 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: 724-2116\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700312211762,"sku":"724-2116","price":56.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cc5339112373a8229281989ee67c69d7.jpg?v=1788388813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-2116-roughing-end-mill-1-2-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
