Harvey Tool 18315 Chamfer Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 18315 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for chamfering and profiling operations on a wide range of materials. With a 1/2-inch cutter head diameter and 4 flutes, this single-end tool delivers clean, consistent chamfers in demanding machining environments. The bright/uncoated finish makes it suitable for general-purpose cutting applications where coating is not required. At 3 inches overall length with a 1/2-inch shank diameter, it fits standard toolholders and is well-suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills alike. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on solid carbide construction for its rigidity and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives.

This chamfer mill is used in metalworking and precision machining applications requiring accurate chamfer or bevel generation on workpiece edges. The 30-degree and 150-degree included angle geometry supports a range of chamfering profiles. With a right-hand cutting direction, it is compatible with standard spindle rotation on vertical and horizontal machining centers. Typical applications include deburring, edge preparation for welding, and decorative or functional profiling on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and extended tool life over high-speed steel
• 4-flute design supports efficient chip evacuation and smooth surface finish
• Included angle of 30 degrees and 150 degrees covers a broad range of chamfer profiles
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining without coating-specific limitations
• Right-hand cut compatible with standard CNC and manual mill spindle rotation
• 0.784-inch length of cut accommodates typical edge chamfering and profiling depths

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement-style chamfer mill for standard 1/2-inch toolholders used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines configured for right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety protocols. Power down and lock out the spindle before tool changes. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the toolholder collet or end mill holder before operation. Verify spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cutting geometry of this tool before starting the machine.
