Value Collection 724-4077 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-4077 is a single-end roughing finishing end mill designed for material removal and finishing in one tool. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it handles harder workpiece materials and elevated cutting temperatures better than standard HSS tooling. The 3/8 inch diameter, 4-flute, square end geometry delivers a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. With a 3/4 inch length of cut and 2-1/2 inch overall length, this end mill suits short-reach milling operations on manual mills and CNC machining centers. Installation and setup are handled by machinists and CNC operators.

This end mill is suited for general-purpose milling applications including slotting, profiling, and peripheral cutting on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where cobalt tooling is specified. The 3/8 inch Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and reduces pullout risk in end mill holders. The bright, uncoated finish makes it a cost-effective choice for shops that regrind tooling after use. Right-hand cutting direction and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling on most vertical milling setups.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 4-flute square end geometry for profiling, slotting, and finishing passes
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and chatter
• 3/8 inch Weldon flat shank for secure tool holding with set-screw holders
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for regrinding
• Single-end design, right-hand cut, right-hand flute direction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use in end mill holders and collet chucks accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before mounting. Secure the Weldon flat against the set screw in the holder to the appropriate torque per the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, and confirm correct spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation.
