Harvey Tool 17197-C3 Corner Rounding End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 17197-C3 is a double-end corner rounding end mill designed for precision edge profiling on metal workpieces. It carries a 5.00 mm (0.197 inch) radius and a 0.5 inch mill diameter with 2 flutes ground from solid carbide. The AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. At 3.0 inches overall length with a 0.5 inch shank diameter, this tool fits standard end mill holders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Machinists and toolroom operators use it to produce consistent, clean corner radii without secondary deburring operations.

This end mill is suited for applications in job shops, production machining environments, and toolroom work where controlled corner radii are required on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar materials. The double-end configuration maximizes value by providing two usable cutting ends per tool. The flared series geometry supports smooth entry and reduces chatter during the profiling pass. It is a common choice when blueprint callouts specify a precise radius on external edges or pockets.

Key Features

• 5.00 mm (0.197 inch) corner radius for precise edge profiling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature performance in ferrous materials
• Double-end design provides two cutting ends per tool
• 2-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during profiling
• 0.058 inch tip diameter allows clearance at the root of the radius

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2 inch end mill holders and collet chucks on CNC machining centers and manual vertical mills. Part of the Harvey Tool Corner Rounding End Mills - 2 and 4 Flute - Flared series.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine spindle fully stopped and the control in an e-stop or locked-out state. Use a calibrated torque wrench on the tool holder draw bar or collet nut to secure the shank without over-tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning a cut. Follow the tool manufacturer's recommended speeds and feeds for the specific workpiece material and coating type.
