Value Collection 840-0046 Square End Mill 3/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 840-0046 is a double-end square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal and general-purpose machining applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this tool features a 3/64 inch (0.0469 inch) mill diameter and a 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch) length of cut. The 30-degree helix angle and two-flute spiral geometry support efficient chip evacuation in light-duty slotting, profiling, and contouring work. The bright/uncoated finish indicates an uncoated HSS substrate suited for use on a range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolroom operators working on small-feature detail work will find this cutter well matched to close-tolerance applications.

This end mill is appropriate for use in vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills where a small-diameter, double-end tool is needed. The double-end configuration extends usable tool life by providing two cutting ends per shank. The straight shank and regular length designation make it compatible with standard collets and end mill holders sized for a 3/16 inch shank. It is commonly used in production and toolroom environments handling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites at moderate cutting speeds.

Key Features

• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose metal cutting
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip flow in spiral flute geometry
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard spindle rotation
• Bright/uncoated finish, no additional coating to affect edge geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard toolroom end mill for use in any setup accepting a 3/16 inch straight shank with a collet, end mill holder, or comparable workholding device.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the holder. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder and torque the retention mechanism per the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use, and do not exceed the recommended depth-of-cut for the tool diameter to avoid deflection or breakage.
