Value Collection 724-5254 Roughing Finishing End Mill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 724-5254 is a single-end, 6-flute roughing finishing end mill designed for aggressive material removal and finish milling in a single tool. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN), it delivers increased hardness and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The 1-inch cutting diameter and 30-degree helix angle make it well-suited for milling ferrous metals, stainless steels, and other difficult-to-machine alloys. It is installed and operated by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and job-shop environments.

This end mill is used in vertical and horizontal milling machines as well as machining centers where a single tool must handle both roughing passes and finish passes. The square end geometry is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The Weldon flat shank provides positive drive in end mill holders and reduces tool pullout under heavy cuts. It is a practical choice for shops running interrupted cuts or high-feed applications on hard materials.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• TiN coating extends tool life and reduces friction at the cutting edge
• 6-flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and improves finish
• Weldon flat shank ensures positive drive and resists pullout in end mill holders
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard milling machine spindles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for milling machines and machining centers that accept 1-inch straight shank end mills with a Weldon flat drive feature.

Installation Notes

Install and remove end mills only with the spindle fully stopped and the machine locked out per OSHA and shop safety procedures. Use a properly sized end mill holder or collet rated for the 1-inch Weldon flat shank. Inspect the shank and holder for wear, chips, or contamination before seating the tool. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning production cuts to protect both the tool and the workpiece.
