Value Collection MT3258028 Square End Mill 7/16 in 2 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MT3258028 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 7/16 inch cutting diameter and a 2-flute, right-hand spiral flute design, this end mill delivers clean, accurate cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 30-degree helix angle balances chip evacuation with cutting efficiency. Manufactured from submicron carbide grade material, it offers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding shop floor applications. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working with vertical and horizontal machining centers or manual mills.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling applications in general machining environments. The bright/uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice for aluminum, brass, and similar non-ferrous materials where coating is unnecessary. Its centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, expanding its range of use in production and toolroom settings. The 1 inch length of cut and 2.5 inch overall length fit standard tool holders used in both CNC and manual milling setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron grade construction for hardness and extended tool life
• 7/16 inch cutting diameter with matching 7/16 inch shank diameter for direct tool holder fit
• 2-flute right-hand spiral design promotes chip evacuation during slotting and profiling
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Centercutting geometry enables plunge milling without a pre-drilled entry hole
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and general-purpose milling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock end mill for standard milling operations using 7/16 inch tool holders in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before loading or unloading the tool. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder to secure the 7/16 inch shank and verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut. Follow applicable machine manufacturer guidelines and OSHA general industry standards for rotating tool handling.
