Value Collection 724-3167 Roughing End Mill 3/4 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-3167 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it delivers solid wear resistance and heat tolerance during heavy roughing passes. The mill measures 3/4 inch in diameter with a 5/8 inch shank, a 1.625 inch length of cut, and a 3.75 inch overall length. With 4 right-hand flutes and right-hand cutting direction, it is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

This roughing end mill is used in production and job-shop environments where rapid stock removal is the priority before finish milling operations. The coarse flute geometry breaks chips aggressively, reducing cutting forces and heat buildup. It is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral roughing cuts in steel, stainless steel, and alloy materials. The non-centercutting design means it is not intended for direct plunge entry; ramp or helical entry should be used when pocketing.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction during cutting
• 4 right-hand flutes with right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation
• 3/4 inch mill diameter with 5/8 inch shank for secure tool-holder engagement
• Single-end configuration; 1.625 inch length of cut suits shallow-to-moderate depth passes
• Non-centercutting geometry — ramp or helical entry required for plunge moves

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual knee mills accepting a 5/8 inch straight shank end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of chips before seating the shank. Secure the shank to the full depth recommended by the tool-holder manufacturer using the appropriate torque wrench per the holder specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning cuts, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades surface finish.
