Value Collection 842-0125 Square End Mill 1/8 in 2 Flute Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 842-0125 is a double-end, square-profile end mill designed for general-purpose milling operations in machine shops and toolrooms. Built from high speed steel, it features a 1/8 inch (0.125 inch) mill diameter and a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) length of cut, making it suited for light profiling, slotting, and contouring work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces. With two flutes and a bright, uncoated finish, this stub-length end mill is a straightforward general-use tool for standard milling setups.

The 842-0125 is intended for use in vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills performing small-diameter cutting operations. Its stub length type improves rigidity during cuts where deflection is a concern. The double-end configuration provides a second cutting end, extending the usable life of the tool before replacement. This end mill is a practical choice for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians working with small-profile features or tight-tolerance slots.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch mill diameter with 3/16 inch length of cut for small-feature milling
• Double-end design provides two usable cutting ends per tool
• High speed steel construction suitable for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous applications
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes for efficient chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows plunge entry into workpiece

• Straight shank, 3/16 inch diameter, compatible with standard collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for standard straight-shank collet systems accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter in vertical mills, CNC machining centers, and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before changing or seating the end mill in the collet or tool holder. Use the correct collet size to match the 3/16 inch straight shank and torque the drawbar or collet nut per machine manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
