Value Collection 724-4053 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-4053 is a cobalt roughing finishing end mill designed for material removal and surface finishing in a single tool. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other tough alloys. The 5/16 inch diameter with a 3/4 inch length of cut makes it well suited for slot milling, profiling, and pocket work on smaller part features. A 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces chatter. This end mill is used by machinists and toolroom professionals on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This end mill fits applications in job shops, production machining, and tool-and-die environments where a single tool must handle both roughing and finishing passes. The square end geometry produces flat-bottomed slots and shoulders. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting rotation are standard for the majority of milling setups. The Weldon flat shank provides a positive drive connection in end mill holders, reducing pullout risk during heavier cuts.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in tough materials
• 4 flutes with square end geometry for flat-bottom slots and shoulder milling
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces vibration
• Weldon flat shank for secure positive-drive engagement in end mill holders
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Single-end tool; right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling operations requiring a 3/8 inch shank, 5/16 inch diameter cobalt end mill with Weldon flat drive geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in a compatible end mill holder using the set screw against the flat to prevent axial pullout. Verify spindle speed and feed rate calculations for the workpiece material before cutting. This tool is not center-cutting; do not plunge straight down into solid material.
