Value Collection 724-3287 Roughing End Mill 1-1/4 in 6 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-3287 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 (titanium nitride) coating, this tool handles tough ferrous materials while maintaining edge integrity under heat. It carries a 1.25-inch cutting diameter and a 1.125-inch length of cut, making it well suited for heavy roughing passes where chip load and feed rate matter more than surface finish. Six flutes provide a strong core and efficient chip evacuation across a broad range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators are the typical end users.

This roughing end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines equipped with a 0.75-inch collet or end mill holder. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction suit conventional setups. The single-end configuration with a 3.375-inch overall length makes it a practical choice for general-purpose roughing in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where cobalt tooling is preferred over carbide for interrupted cuts or re-sharpening potential.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction resists heat and wear during heavy roughing cuts
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 6-flute geometry increases core strength and supports higher feed rates
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for standard milling setups
• Single-end design with 0.75-inch shank diameter fits common collet systems
• Non-centercutting — not intended for direct plunge entry into solid material

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.75-inch straight shank end mill holder or collet. Suitable for roughing ferrous and high-temp alloy workpieces where cobalt HSS tooling is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut per the holder manufacturer specification. Confirm spindle runout is within acceptable limits before engaging the cut. Because this tool is non-centercutting, do not program direct plunge moves into solid stock — use a ramping or helical entry path instead.
