Value Collection 724-2140 Roughing End Mill 5/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-2140 is a single-end cobalt roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this end mill delivers heat and wear resistance that outperforms standard HSS tooling in demanding cuts. It features a 5/8-inch diameter, a 4-flute configuration, and a 3/4-inch length of cut. The bright, uncoated finish makes it suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this cutter for roughing passes where speed and chip evacuation matter most.

This roughing end mill is suited for manual mills and CNC machining centers in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional milling setups. With a 5/8-inch shank diameter matching the cutter diameter, it seats directly in collets and end-mill holders of that bore size. It is a non-centercutting design, meaning it is not intended for direct plunge cuts and should be ramped or side-fed into material.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance over standard HSS
• 4-flute design provides a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge contact
• 5/8-inch cutter and shank diameter for direct collet or end-mill holder mounting
• 3/4-inch length of cut suitable for moderate-depth roughing passes
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in manual vertical mills and CNC machining centers accepting a 5/8-inch shank. Suitable as a general-purpose roughing end mill for shops working ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom professional. Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end-mill holder and torque the retention nut according to the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. This is a non-centercutting tool — do not plunge directly into solid material; use a ramp or helical entry path.
