Harvey Tool 18318-C3 Chamfer Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 18318-C3 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for chamfering, deburring, and edge-breaking operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 1/2 inch cutter head delivers precise angular cuts at a 35-degree included angle, while the AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With a 4-flute, single-end configuration and right-hand cutting direction, this tool provides smooth, consistent performance in milling applications. The 0.666 inch length of cut suits a range of chamfer depths across typical production and job-shop work. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users of this tool.

This chamfer mill is suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines in both production and prototype environments. The 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders, making it a straightforward drop-in for most setups. Its 3 inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard chamfering tasks on workpiece edges, holes, and intersecting bores. The AlTiN coating performs well in dry and semi-dry cutting strategies, particularly with alloy steels, stainless, and hardened materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for elevated heat and wear resistance in hard material cutting
• 35-degree included angle for precise, consistent chamfer geometry
• 4-flute, single-end design for smooth cutting action and efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 0.666 inch length of cut suitable for a variety of chamfer depth requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/2 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a solid carbide chamfer mill with a 35-degree included angle.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque to the machine tool manufacturer's specification before running. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding requirements when operating rotating cutting tools.
