Value Collection 724-3229 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-3229 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a TiN coating, it delivers heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cuts. The 1-inch cutting diameter and 5-flute configuration allow it to hog material quickly while maintaining a manageable chip load. With a 1.125-inch length of cut and a 0.75-inch shank diameter, this tool fits standard milling chucks and collets used in vertical and horizontal knee mills, CNC machining centers, and manual mills. It is installed and operated by machinists in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments.

This roughing end mill is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous stock removal in both production and repair machining contexts. The right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle rotation on most milling equipment. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for side milling, profiling, slotting, and peripheral roughing passes rather than plunge cuts. The TiN coating helps reduce built-up edge and extends service intervals between regrinds or replacements.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life during high-feed passes
• 5-flute geometry increases feed rate capability compared to 4-flute designs
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard milling spindle compatibility
• Non-centercutting — optimized for peripheral roughing and side milling
• Single-end configuration with 0.75-inch shank for secure chuck or collet holding

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use roughing end mill for milling machines accepting a 0.75-inch shank diameter toolholder, collet chuck, or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Ensure the shank is fully seated in the collet or end mill holder and that all set screws or collet nuts are torqued to the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Do not use this tool for plunge cutting, as it is a non-centercutting design.
