Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with extended tool life. The 1\/4 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 3\/8 inch shank diameter, providing rigid support during heavy cuts. Three right-hand flutes with a right-hand cutting direction deliver efficient chip evacuation. A 5\/8 inch length of cut and 2-7\/16 inch overall length make this mill suited for shallow-pocket and profile roughing passes. Installed by machinists and CNC operators in job shop and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill is used in manual mills and CNC machining centers for roughing passes on steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and similar hard materials. The corncob-style roughing profile reduces cutting forces compared to standard end mills, allowing higher feed rates and deeper cuts per pass. The TiN coating improves surface hardness and reduces friction at the cutting edge, extending service intervals between tool changes. This is a non-centercutting tool and is not intended for plunge cutting into solid material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard milling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-centercutting geometry — suited for peripheral and slot roughing, not plunge entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard collets and end mill holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-end design with 5\/8 inch length of cut and 2-7\/16 inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style roughing end mill for use in standard end mill holders, collet chucks, and milling machine spindles accepting a 3\/8 inch shank diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle drive before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention fastener according to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Do not use this non-centercutting end mill for plunge entries into solid stock — use a center-cutting tool or pre-drill an entry hole before engaging this mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch (0.25 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\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\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN (Titanium Nitride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inch (0.6250 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-7\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches)\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\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\u003eCentercutting\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: 0.02 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: 724-3020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51708942450994,"sku":"724-3020","price":67.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d7f938bd5cedc2564cc52fccb41dbf00.jpg?v=1788449203","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-3020-roughing-end-mill-1-4-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
