Value Collection 934-000-197 Square End Mill Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 934-000-197 is a single-end square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metal and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this stub-length end mill features a 0.04-inch cutting diameter and a 40-degree helix angle that promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. With 2 flutes and a bright uncoated finish, it is suited for general-purpose end milling where coating is not required. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling professionals on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This end mill is intended for light-duty slotting, profiling, and plunging in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The stub length format and 0.0625-inch length of cut make it well-suited for shallow-depth passes in tight workpiece geometries. Its 3/16-inch straight shank fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in small-capacity machining setups. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation follow conventional milling direction for most spindle configurations.

Key Features

• 0.04-inch cutting diameter for fine, small-radius milling work
• High speed steel construction provides durability in general machining applications
• 40-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip flow and surface finish quality
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright uncoated finish; suitable for use with or without coolant in standard setups
• Stub length format (Series 856) reduces deflection in shallow-cut applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for collet chucks and end mill holders accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank in manual or CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling professional. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing the end mill from the collet or holder. Verify collet size matches the 3/16-inch shank diameter and that the tool is seated to the correct gage length before tightening. At 0.04-inch diameter, this tool is fragile — avoid excessive feed rates or side loads that can cause tool breakage.
