Value Collection 724-4272 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-4272 is a single-end roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal and finishing passes in a single tool. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it handles tough ferrous and exotic alloy materials where standard HSS tools fall short. The 1 inch diameter cutter features 5 right-hand flutes with a 30-degree helix angle, delivering efficient chip evacuation and a smooth surface finish. The bright uncoated finish suits applications where coating buildup would be a concern. This end mill is sized for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals.

This tool is suited for milling operations in production and job-shop environments where a single end mill needs to rough and finish in sequence without a tool change. The 6 inch length of cut provides significant depth of engagement for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in deep-cavity workpieces. The 1 inch Weldon flat shank provides positive drive in side-lock holders and reduces slippage under heavy cutting loads. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional and climb milling setups on most vertical machining centers.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for heat and wear resistance in tough alloys
• 5-flute design balances chip clearance with surface finish quality
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip evacuation
• Weldon flat shank ensures secure, slip-resistant tool holding
• 6 inch length of cut for deep-cavity and long-reach milling applications
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of ferrous materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1 inch side-lock or Weldon-flat end mill holders on vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop-standard tooling procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or removing the end mill. Seat the Weldon flat against the set screw in the holder and torque the holder to the tool holder manufacturer's specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut to prevent premature tool wear or workpiece damage.
