Value Collection MT3290800 Square End Mill 7/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MT3290800 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composite, and hard material applications. With a 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) mill diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this tool delivers consistent material removal in a compact, regular-length configuration. The four-flute, right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Manufactured from micrograin solid carbide, this end mill offers the rigidity and wear resistance required for demanding production environments. It ships in a bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose milling without coating-specific temperature constraints.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, manual knee mills, and rigid milling setups where a standard 7/16 inch shank is required. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, making it practical for pocket milling, slotting, and profiling operations. It is appropriate for machinists and tooling technicians working in job shops, production facilities, and toolroom environments on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for high rigidity and extended tool life
• Four-flute, right-hand spiral design with 30-degree helix for efficient chip flow
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications
• Matching 7/16 inch shank and mill diameter for standard collet or end mill holder fitment
• Regular length configuration provides stable overhang for everyday milling tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16 inch shank square end mill compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with ER collets, end mill holders, or similar 7/16 inch bore toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or tooling technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of chips before inserting the end mill. Secure the shank with appropriate torque to the toolholder manufacturer's specification and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Follow applicable shop safety protocols and machine guarding requirements during setup and operation.
