Value Collection 724-3263 Roughing End Mill 1 in 5 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-3263 is a single-end roughing end mill engineered for aggressive material removal in milling operations. Constructed from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating, it delivers increased hardness and heat resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The 5-flute design with a right-hand cutting and flute direction produces a smoother finish than typical 4-flute roughers while maintaining high chip-load capacity. With a 1-inch mill diameter, 2-inch length of cut, and 4.5-inch overall length, this end mill suits production environments where material removal rate and tool longevity are priorities. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary installers of this tooling.

This roughing end mill is suited for use on vertical and horizontal milling machines as well as CNC machining centers. It is appropriate for cutting ferrous metals including alloy steels and stainless steels where cobalt tooling is preferred over standard HSS. The non-centercutting design means it is intended for side milling and peripheral cuts rather than direct plunge entry. Its 1-inch shank diameter matches the 1-inch mill diameter, making it compatible with standard ER collet chucks, milling chucks, and Weldon-style side-lock holders that accept 1-inch shanks.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated red hardness and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends tool life in interrupted and continuous cuts
• 5-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional and climb milling compatibility
• Single-end configuration with 2-inch length of cut and 4.5-inch overall length
• Non-centercutting design optimized for peripheral and side milling passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for milling operations requiring a 1-inch diameter single-end roughing end mill with a 1-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of end mills should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing tooling from any holder. Use the correct collet size or holder bore to match the 1-inch shank diameter and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Never exceed the recommended feed rate or depth of cut for the workpiece material and machine rigidity.
