Value Collection 724-3323 Roughing End Mill 1.5 in Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-3323 is a single-end roughing end mill designed for aggressive material removal in milling applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with extended tool life. The 6-flute design produces a coarse chip pattern that reduces cutting forces and heat buildup during heavy roughing passes. With a 1.5-inch mill diameter and a 1.125-inch length of cut, this tool suits production shops and toolrooms running horizontal or vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

This roughing end mill is suited for roughing operations where fast stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. The right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute spiral are standard configurations for conventional and climb milling on steel, stainless, and similar alloys. The 0.75-inch shank diameter fits standard R8 collets and milling chuck holders common in job shop and production environments. A licensed machinist or tool-and-die maker typically selects this tool for roughing cavities, pockets, and profiles in mold work or structural components.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for heat resistance and toughness in hard materials
• TiN coating reduces friction and extends cutting edge life
• 6 flutes for high metal removal rates during roughing passes
• Right-hand cut and right-hand helix for compatibility with standard milling setups
• Non-centercutting design — requires a pre-drilled entry point or side milling entry
• Single-end configuration for straightforward tool holding and setup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for milling machines accepting a 0.75-inch shank diameter end mill holder or collet chuck.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist using a properly rated end mill holder or precision collet sized for the 0.75-inch shank. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the machine powered down before changing tooling. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not plunge directly into solid material — use a ramp entry or begin from a pre-drilled hole. Verify runout after tool installation to protect the cutting edges and maintain dimensional accuracy.
