Value Collection MT3258048 Square End Mill 3/4 in 2 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MT3258048 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 3/4 inch cutting diameter and a 2-flute geometry set at a 30-degree helix angle, this tool is built for efficient chip evacuation and clean side-wall finishes. The submicron carbide grade delivers hardness and wear resistance suited to ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright/uncoated finish keeps the tool ready for use as-delivered without additional prep. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC mills and manual vertical mills will find this a reliable general-purpose cutting tool.

This end mill is suited for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in job shop and production machining settings. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into material, adding versatility for pocketing operations. The straight shank fits standard 3/4 inch collets and end mill holders on both CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction match the standard spindle rotation on most vertical milling machines. Single-end configuration means the full tool length contributes to rigidity and reach.

Key Features

• Solid submicron carbide construction for extended tool life in demanding cuts
• 2-flute design with 30-degree right-hand spiral helix for effective chip removal
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling and pocketing
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating prep required before first use
• Straight 3/4 inch shank fits standard collets and end mill holders
• 1.5 inch length of cut with 4 inch overall length for reach into deeper features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or standard tooling selection for CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills accepting 3/4 inch straight-shank end mill holders or collets.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with tool runout, holder torque requirements, and safe spindle speeds for carbide tooling. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the end mill from its holder. Ensure the shank is clean and free of chips or burrs before seating in the collet or holder. Consult the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety standards for proper RPM and feed rate setup before cutting.
