Harvey Tool 13708 Square End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 13708 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. With a 1/8 inch cutting diameter and a 1 inch length of cut, this tool is built for slots, pockets, and profiling passes where accuracy and rigidity matter. The 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality, while the 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduced chatter. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1.5 inch extended reach, this end mill handles applications where standard-reach tools fall short. The bright, uncoated finish suits general-purpose work where coating is not required by the application.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers, vertical mills, and precision manual mills in job shop, tool-and-die, and prototype manufacturing environments. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it compatible with standard spindle configurations. The center-cutting design allows for direct plunge entry, giving machinists flexibility in programming approach paths. It is a single-end tool intended for professional machinists and toolroom operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch cutting diameter with 1 inch length of cut for detailed slot and pocket work
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance versus high-speed steel
• 3-flute geometry balances material removal rate with chip clearance
• 30-degree helix angle reduces cutting forces and chatter tendency
• Center-cutting design permits direct plunge milling without pre-drilling
• 1.5 inch extended reach for accessing deeper features without tool change

Compatibility

Designed as a standard shank solid carbide square end mill for use in 1/8 inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines with right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following proper toolholding procedures. Ensure the collet or end mill holder is clean and within specified runout tolerance before seating the tool. Torque the collet nut or set screw according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut.
