Harvey Tool 23206-C3 Ball End Mill 0.0938 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 23206-C3 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. With a 0.0938-inch cutting diameter and a 0.079-inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature profiling, slotting, and contouring in tight geometries. The 2-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. An AlTiN coating extends tool life by increasing surface hardness and thermal resistance at the cutting edge. The 1/8-inch shank diameter and 1-1/2-inch overall length make it compatible with standard collet toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This ball end mill is suited for precision CNC milling applications where small-radius features, 3D contouring, and fine-detail work are required. It performs in hardened steels, stainless, titanium, and high-temperature alloys where AlTiN coating provides an advantage in heat-intensive cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on mold cavities, medical components, aerospace parts, and small-scale precision fixtures are the primary users of this tool geometry and size class.

Key Features

• 0.0938-inch ball nose cutting diameter for small-feature and fine-radius work
• 0.079-inch length of cut for precise depth engagement in tight pockets
• 2-flute geometry supports chip evacuation in narrow slot and profile cuts
• AlTiN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance for longer tool life
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance over high-speed carbide alternatives
• 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a single-end ball end mill with a 1/8-inch shank for use in CNC machining centers, high-speed spindles, and manual mills equipped with compatible collet toolholding.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production cut, as runout errors at this diameter class will directly impact surface finish and tool life.
