Value Collection 724-2269 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-2269 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Machined from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers strong heat and wear resistance during high-feed cutting passes. The mill measures 1 inch in diameter with a matching 1-inch shank diameter, a 4-inch length of cut, and a 6.5-inch overall length. Five flutes provide efficient chip evacuation and a stable cutting action suited to roughing passes on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose cobalt tooling.

This end mill is suited for use on vertical and horizontal milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills in job shop, toolroom, and production environments. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation. Because this is a non-centercutting design, it is intended for peripheral and side milling rather than plunge cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals handling steel, stainless, and similar alloys are the primary users.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat resistance compared to standard M2 tooling
• 5-flute geometry supports aggressive material removal with good surface finish on roughing passes
• 1-inch mill diameter with 1-inch shank diameter for rigid, low-runout setup
• 4-inch length of cut accommodates deep-pocket and long-reach roughing applications
• Bright/uncoated finish ready for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production roughing end mill compatible with standard 1-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, and shrink-fit tooling systems accepting a 1-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the specified minimum engagement depth in the tool holder and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not use it for direct plunge operations.
