Value Collection 724-2215 Roughing End Mill 7/8 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-2215 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. It features a 7/8 inch cutting diameter, a 3/4 inch shank diameter, and five flutes configured for efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes. With a 3.5 inch length of cut and 5.625 inch overall length, it suits both knee mills and CNC machining centers where extended reach is not required.

This roughing end mill is intended for roughing and semi-finishing operations on machining centers, manual vertical mills, and similar equipment. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. It is not center-cutting, so it is not suitable for plunge entry without a pilot hole or pre-drilled starting point. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and heavy stock removal on steel, stainless, and alloy materials in job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• Five flutes for aggressive chip clearance during roughing passes
• 7/8 inch cutting diameter with 3/4 inch shank for rigid setup
• 3.5 inch length of cut accommodates deep pocket and profile work
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard spindle compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling machines accepting a 3/4 inch straight shank end mill in a standard collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or holder. Seat the shank to the full recommended engagement depth in the holder and torque the collet nut to the holder manufacturer's specification. This tool is not center-cutting and must not be used for direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled clearance hole.
