Value Collection 724-5008 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-5008 is a single-end cobalt roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal with a refined finish in one tool pass. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN), it offers improved wear resistance and heat tolerance compared to standard HSS tooling. The 3/16 inch cutting diameter, 3-flute geometry, and 30-degree helix angle combine to produce efficient chip evacuation while maintaining surface quality. It is sized for use in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and bench-top mills where small-diameter, high-performance end mills are required.

This end mill is suited for ferrous and non-ferrous machining applications in job shops, toolrooms, and production environments. The square end profile makes it appropriate for slotting, side milling, and peripheral cutting operations. The Weldon flat shank provides positive drive engagement in compatible tool holders, reducing slip during heavy cuts. Machinists and CNC operators working on close-tolerance components in steel, stainless, and cast iron will find the M42 substrate and TiN coating effective in demanding conditions.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt steel substrate for elevated red hardness and wear resistance
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating reduces friction and extends tool life
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and cutting edge strength
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Weldon flat shank ensures secure seating in end mill holders
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute, single-end configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock end mill for use in any tool holder accepting a 3/8 inch shank with Weldon flat engagement, common to most vertical milling and CNC machining setups.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the Weldon flat fully against the set screw in the tool holder and torque the set screw to the holder manufacturer specification. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, as runout on small-diameter end mills accelerates wear and increases breakage risk.
