Value Collection MT3290090 Square End Mill 9/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MT3290090 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metal cutting and machining applications. With a 9/32 inch (0.2813 inch) cutting diameter and a 3/4 inch length of cut, this tool delivers clean, flat-bottomed cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The submicron carbide grade provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for production and job-shop environments. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for applications where coating is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated. Machinists and toolroom professionals are the primary users of this type of end mill.

This end mill is appropriate for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and similar setups. The 5/16 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders. With a 2-1/2 inch overall length and a 30-degree helix angle, it is suited for general-purpose cuts in steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials in both light production and prototype work. Its centercutting capability also allows plunge entry into the workpiece.

Key Features

• Solid carbide submicron grade for hardness and edge retention
• Centercutting design permits direct plunge cuts
• 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• 2-flute geometry provides clearance in slotting and deep-pocket operations
• Bright/uncoated finish allows re-sharpening and works well with cutting fluids
• Single-end configuration with right-hand cutting direction

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose square end mill compatible with any machine tool equipped with a standard collet or end mill holder accepting a 5/16 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's toolholder torque and runout specifications. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Verify collet condition and cleanliness before seating the shank, and confirm shank engagement depth meets the toolholder minimum before tightening. Select appropriate feeds, speeds, and depth of cut based on workpiece material and machine rigidity.
