Harvey Tool 18032 Chamfer Mill 0.5 in 4 Flute Cobalt 90 Deg

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 18032 is a single-end cobalt chamfer mill designed for chamfering, deburring, and edge-breaking operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, this tool offers increased heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and higher-heat cutting environments. The 90-degree included angle delivers a clean, consistent chamfer geometry. With a 0.5 inch cutter head diameter, 0.25 inch length of cut, and a right-hand cutting direction, this mill is a reliable choice for production shops and toolrooms running manual mills or CNC machining centers.

The 18032 is used in general metalworking and fabrication applications where edge preparation and chamfering are required on flat stock, bores, and intersecting surfaces. Its 0.5 inch shank diameter and 3 inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in vertical machining centers and knee mills. The bright, uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of tool wear during production runs.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for improved heat resistance and tool life in harder materials
• 90-degree included angle for standard chamfer and deburring applications
• 4-flute design for improved surface finish and chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with conventional spindle rotation
• Bright uncoated finish allows direct wear inspection without coating interference
• Single-end geometry maximizes shank rigidity in the holder

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end chamfer mill with a 0.5 inch shank diameter, compatible with collet chucks and end mill holders sized for 0.5 inch straight shanks on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or lockout state before loading or changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended minimum engagement depth before tightening. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine OEM guidelines for feed rate and spindle speed selection based on workpiece material and depth of cut.
