Value Collection 724-4071 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-4071 is a cobalt roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal followed by finish passes in a single tool. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it handles tough ferrous materials where standard HSS tooling wears prematurely. The 3/8 inch diameter, 4-flute, square end geometry delivers clean edges and efficient chip evacuation. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. The Weldon flat shank provides positive tool retention in compatible holders. This is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a bright uncoated finish, sold individually.

This end mill suits general machining operations in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. It is appropriate for milling steel, alloy steel, and similar harder metals where cobalt M42 grade tooling is specified. The 7/16 inch length of cut and 2-3/16 inch overall length make it well suited to shallow-to-moderate pocket milling, slotting, and profiling work on knee mills, vertical machining centers, and CNC mills with standard 3/8 inch toolholders.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• 4-flute square end geometry for profiling, slotting, and finish milling
• 30-degree helix angle reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• Weldon flat shank for secure, positive retention in standard holders
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for conventional milling setups
• Bright uncoated finish standard; not center-cutting, not extended reach

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8 inch Weldon flat toolholders on knee mills, vertical mills, and CNC machining centers. Confirm holder compatibility and shank engagement length before use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tool-and-die technician. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Secure the Weldon flat shank in a matched holder, tightening the set screw against the flat to prevent pull-out. This tool is not center-cutting and cannot be plunged axially; use ramp or helical entry strategies when entering closed pockets.
