Harvey Tool 18541-C3 Chamfer Mill 1/4 Inch 3 Flutes Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 18541-C3 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for deburring, chamfering, and edge-breaking operations on machined components. With a 1/4 inch cutter head diameter and 3-flute geometry, this tool delivers clean, consistent chamfers in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1/4 inch shank diameter, it is sized for use in standard CNC machining centers and manual mills. Machinists and toolroom operators working in production or job-shop environments are the primary users of this tool.

This chamfer mill is suited for light chamfering and edge preparation on workpieces requiring precise angular cuts. The right-hand cutting direction makes it compatible with conventional spindle rotation on standard vertical and horizontal machining centers. The 7/64 inch length of cut suits shallow chamfer profiles common in part finishing and pre-assembly deburring. It is appropriate for use in aerospace, automotive, and general precision machining shops where tight tolerances on chamfer geometry are required.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance over standard HSS tooling
• AlTiN coating enhances heat resistance for improved tool life in high-speed cutting
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits common collets and toolholders without adapters
• Compact 7/64 inch length of cut suited for precise shallow chamfer profiles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chamfer mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/4 inch collets or toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or in a safe-stop state before loading or changing tooling. Verify collet and toolholder runout before operation, as excessive runout accelerates wear on small-diameter carbide tools. Follow the machine manufacturer and tool manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds when establishing cutting parameters.
