Harvey Tool 18338-C3 Chamfer Mill 1/2 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 18338-C3 is a single-end chamfer mill designed for precision chamfering and deburring operations on a wide range of workpiece materials. Built from solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride), this tool delivers strong wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed cutting. The 1/2 inch cutter head diameter pairs with a 1/2 inch shank, and the tool measures 3 inches in overall length. With a 75-degree included angle and a 4-flute geometry, it produces clean, consistent chamfers in a right-hand cutting direction. It is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills across production and job-shop environments.

This chamfer mill is used in metalworking applications where accurate edge preparation is required, including chamfering drilled holes, deburring part edges, and creating countersink-style lead-ins. The 0.274 inch length of cut makes it appropriate for light to moderate material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with aluminum, steel, and stainless applications will find the AlTiN coating particularly effective in dry or minimal-lubricant conditions at elevated spindle speeds.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature resistance and reduced tool wear
• 75-degree included angle for standard chamfering geometry
• 4-flute design promotes smooth chip evacuation and surface finish
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and manual milling spindles
• 0.274 inch length of cut suitable for edge prep and hole chamfering tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chamfer mill suitable for use in standard 1/2 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following shop safety procedures. Secure the 1/2 inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Confirm spindle direction is set to right-hand rotation before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or wear before each use, and replace the tool if edge integrity is compromised.
