Harvey Tool 14616-C4 Square End Mill 1/4 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 14616-C4 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. With a 1/4 inch cutter diameter and 2-flute geometry, it is suited for slotting, profiling, and finishing passes where tight tolerances and clean edges are required. The amorphous diamond coating provides exceptional hardness and low friction at the cutting edge, extending tool life when machining abrasive non-ferrous materials such as graphite, composites, and ceramics. Right-hand cutting direction and a 0-degree helix angle make it appropriate for specific material types where axial forces must be minimized. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is well suited for CNC machining centers handling abrasive non-metallic materials including carbon fiber reinforced polymers, fiberglass, and graphite. The 3/4 inch length of cut and 2-1/2 inch overall length make it a practical choice for shallow-to-moderate depth passes in both production and prototype environments. The non-centercutting design means it requires a pre-drilled entry point for plunge operations. It is a single-end tool, sold individually.

Key Features

• Amorphous diamond coating for extended tool life in abrasive non-ferrous materials
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional stability
• 1/4 inch cutter diameter with 2-flute geometry for clean edge definition
• 0-degree helix angle minimizes axial cutting forces
• Right-hand cutting direction, single-end configuration
• Non-centercutting design requires pre-drilled entry for plunge cuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling solution for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/4 inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before loading or changing tooling. Seat the 1/4 inch shank securely in a matched collet or end mill holder and torque the drawbar or collet nut per the machine tool manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, as excessive runout will accelerate coating wear and reduce tool life on abrasive materials.
