Value Collection MT32998922 Square End Mill 1/8 in 4 Flute

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MT32998922 is a 4-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining operations. With a 0.125 inch mill diameter and a 0.500 inch length of cut, this single-end tool handles slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling in tight-tolerance applications. The submicron carbide grade provides the rigidity and wear resistance required for consistent performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose work across a wide range of materials without the added cost of specialty coatings.

This end mill fits standard CNC machining centers, manual mills, and toolroom equipment using a 0.125 inch straight shank. It is suited for light to medium material removal in production and job shop environments. The center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry as well as conventional side milling. With a 1.500 inch overall length, it fits most collets and tool holders sized for 1/8 inch shanks. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators working in aerospace, mold making, and general fabrication will find this tool appropriately sized for small-feature work.

Key Features

• 0.125 inch mill diameter suited for small-feature and detail milling
• 4-flute geometry for improved surface finish compared to 2-flute designs
• Submicron solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• 30-degree right-hand spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of work materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production end mill for 1/8 inch collets and straight-shank tool holders on CNC and manual milling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators using a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for 1/8 inch shanks. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and locked before changing tooling. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool, and confirm that the tool holder torque specification matches the equipment manufacturer guidelines. Do not exceed the tool's rated length of cut when programming depth of pass.
