Value Collection 724-2329 Roughing End Mill 1-1/2 in 6 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-2329 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials while maintaining edge integrity under heat. The 1.5-inch mill diameter and 6-flute configuration support high chip load and efficient chip evacuation during roughing passes. The bright, uncoated finish is suited for general-purpose cutting where additional coating is not required. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators use this type of end mill for hogging out stock quickly before finish passes are applied.

This end mill is appropriate for use in manual mills and CNC machining centers performing roughing operations on steel, stainless, and similar hard materials. The 2-inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth side milling and slotting applications. The 0.75-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and side-lock toolholders common in production and job-shop environments. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with conventional spindle configurations. This is a single-end tool — once the cutting end is spent, the tool is replaced rather than flipped.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat resistance and edge retention in tough materials
• 1.5-inch mill diameter with 6 flutes for high chip load and fast stock removal
• 2-inch length of cut supports moderate-depth roughing passes
• 0.75-inch shank diameter fits standard toolholder collets and side-lock holders
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional spindle use
• Bright uncoated finish — suitable for general-purpose roughing without coating overhead

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose roughing end mill for use in manual vertical mills and CNC machining centers equipped with toolholders accepting a 0.75-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. The shank must seat fully into the toolholder with adequate grip length to prevent pullout under roughing loads — non-centercutting geometry means this tool cannot plunge directly and requires a ramping or pre-drilled entry. Verify runout after installation and before cutting.
