Value Collection 934-000-085 Square End Mill 5/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 934-000-085 is a cobalt square end mill designed for metal removal in milling operations on machining centers and manual mills. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard HSS tooling. The double-end configuration provides two usable cutting ends, extending tool life between changes. Key dimensions include a 5/32-inch (0.1563-inch) diameter, a 15/64-inch (0.2344-inch) length of cut, and a 3/16-inch (0.1875-inch) straight shank. The 40-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

This end mill is suited for slot milling, peripheral milling, and plunge cutting in job shop and production environments. The centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece without a pre-drilled pilot hole. The stub length classification and 2-inch overall length provide rigidity in tight setups and short-reach applications. It is commonly used by machinists and tool-and-die tradespeople working with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for elevated heat resistance and longer tool life vs. standard HSS
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge milling
• 40-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation
• 4-flute spiral configuration for smooth finish and stable cutting
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of materials without coating compatibility concerns

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for milling machines and machining centers accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank end mill.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures for straight-shank end mills. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder to achieve full shank engagement and minimize runout. Verify workpiece clamping and tool projection before initiating a cut.
