Value Collection 724-4263 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-4263 is a single-end cobalt roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal combined with finish-quality surface results in a single pass. Manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it carries a 1 inch cutting diameter with 6 flutes and a 30-degree helix angle. The square end geometry produces flat-bottom features and shoulders. The bright, uncoated finish is well suited to ferrous and non-ferrous applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a primary concern. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this end mill in manual knee mills and CNC vertical machining centers for profiling, slotting, and finishing cuts.

This end mill is sized for general-purpose milling work in job shops, maintenance machining environments, and production operations where a single tool needs to handle both roughing and finishing duties. The 2 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth pocketing and side-milling passes. The 1 inch Weldon flat shank provides positive drive engagement in side-lock and Weldon-style tool holders, reducing pullout risk during heavy cuts. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional CNC and manual spindle rotation.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS
• 6-flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced chatter
• Weldon flat shank provides positive drive and pullout resistance in side-lock holders
• Square end geometry for flat-bottom slots, shoulders, and profiles
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling selection for 1 inch shank capacity end mill holders, side-lock holders, and Weldon-style collet chucks used in vertical machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from the tool holder. Ensure the Weldon flat is fully aligned with the set screw in the holder and torque the set screw per the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and verify runout at the spindle before beginning a cut.
