Harvey Tool 12232 Corner Radius End Mill 1/2 in Pcd

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 12232 is a single-end corner radius end mill designed for high-performance cutting in non-ferrous materials. Built from brazed solid carbide with a Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) coating, this tool delivers the hardness and edge retention required for demanding applications in aluminum, wood, composite, and graphite. It features a 1/2 inch mill diameter, a 0.03 inch corner radius, and a 2-flute right-hand spiral configuration. The extended-reach geometry provides access to deeper features without sacrificing rigidity. Centercutting capability allows for plunge operations where the application requires it.

This end mill is suited for machining shops and production environments where non-ferrous and non-ISO materials are primary workpieces. The PCD coating makes it particularly effective in abrasive materials such as graphite and composites where uncoated carbide wears rapidly. The coarse pitch and right-hand cutting direction support both roughing and finishing passes. With a 1/4 inch length of cut and 1 inch reach length, it is best applied in shallow-to-medium depth features requiring precise corner geometry and a consistent radius profile.

Key Features

• Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) coating for extended tool life in abrasive non-ferrous materials
• 0.03 inch corner radius with tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch for consistent edge geometry
• Brazed solid carbide construction for hardness and thermal stability
• Extended-reach design with 1 inch reach length for accessing deeper part features
• Centercutting geometry supports plunge entry cuts
• Right-hand flute direction and cutting direction with coarse pitch for chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard toolholders accepting a 1/2 inch straight-cylindrical shank. Primary material applications include aluminum, wood, composite, and graphite. Not intended for ferrous metal cutting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Ensure the toolholder bore and collet are clean and within spec before seating the 1/2 inch shank to the recommended insertion depth. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before operation. Always follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines and shop safety protocols when changing end mills.
