Harvey Tool 2326M-C3 Ball End Mill 0.2362in 4 Flute Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 2326M-C3 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling of complex contoured surfaces and 3D profiles. With a 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) cutting diameter and a 4-flute configuration, this single-end tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a fine surface finish in demanding machining environments. The AlTiN coating provides excellent heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting hardened steels, stainless, and high-temperature alloys. With an overall length of 2.5 inches and a 0.25-inch shank diameter, this mill fits standard collet chucks used in CNC machining centers and vertical mills.

This ball end mill is suited for finish milling, profiling, and contouring operations in both production and job-shop environments. The 0.201-inch length of cut and 0.148-inch neck diameter allow access to moderate-depth cavities and tight features without excessive deflection. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation make it compatible with standard CNC spindle configurations. It is commonly used by machinists and toolmakers working in die and mold, aerospace, and precision component manufacturing.

Key Features

• 0.2362-inch (6.00 mm) ball cutting diameter for precise contour and profile milling
• AlTiN coating for high heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and high-temp alloys
• 4-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and superior surface finish
• 0.201-inch length of cut with 0.75-inch neck length for cavity and feature access
• 270-degree wrap angle for consistent ball engagement throughout the cut
• Single-end design with 0.25-inch shank fits standard collet toolholders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard CNC machining centers and vertical mills accepting a 0.25-inch shank diameter. Right-hand cutting orientation is compatible with conventional CNC spindle configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's specification. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped before changing tooling. Verify runout after installation to protect tool life and surface finish quality.
