Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel and finished with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating, it handles tough ferrous and non-ferrous materials with extended tool life. The cutter measures 15\/32 inches (0.4688 inches) in diameter with a 1.25-inch length of cut and a 1\/2-inch shank diameter. Three flutes with a high helix, right-hand cutting and flute direction provide efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces during roughing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis roughing end mill suits production and job-shop machining environments where rapid stock removal is the priority before a finishing pass. It is center-cutting, allowing plunge entry as well as conventional side milling. Typical applications include roughing pockets, slots, and profiles in steel, stainless, cast iron, and similar materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers will find this geometry effective for high-feed roughing strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for heat and wear resistance in tough materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiN coating extends cutting edge life and reduces built-up edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-flute, high-helix design promotes fast chip evacuation during roughing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter-cutting geometry allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch shank fits standard ER collets, side-lock holders, and Weldon-style chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-shank single-end roughing end mill with a 1\/2-inch diameter shank, compatible with any tool holder or collet chuck sized for 1\/2-inch straight-shank tooling on vertical and horizontal milling machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the end mill from the tool holder. Seat the shank to the full recommended insertion depth in the holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as excessive runout accelerates edge wear on roughing geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Fractional)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMill Diameter (Decimal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4688 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Mill Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelix Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCenter Cutting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended Reach\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Single End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27112803\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 724-6448\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719012122930,"sku":"724-6448","price":122.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/63e81929992b86015f22a42794677c75.jpg?v=1788556942","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-724-6448-roughing-end-mill-15-32-in-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
