Harvey Tool 23432-C3 Solid Carbide Counterbore 0.5 in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 23432-C3 is a solid carbide counterbore designed for precision spot-facing and counterboring operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.5 inch cut diameter, 1 inch flute length, and an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) finish, this tool delivers high-temperature resistance and extended wear life in demanding cutting conditions. The four-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation and a stable cutting action. The 0.5 inch shank diameter suits standard ER and end mill collet systems. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this counterbore in CNC machining centers and manual milling operations requiring clean, flat-bottomed recesses for fastener seating.

This counterbore is suited for ferrous and hardened materials where a hard, heat-resistant coating is required to maintain edge integrity at elevated cutting speeds. The AlTiN finish makes it a strong choice for dry or near-dry machining environments. At 3 inches overall length and a 0.5 inch shank, it fits a wide range of spindle setups without requiring extended-reach toolholders. Typical applications include counterboring for socket head cap screws, flathead fasteners, and precision-seated hardware in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch cut diameter for standard counterbore sizing
• AlTiN finish provides high-heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• Four-flute design promotes chip clearance and cutting stability
• 1 inch flute length accommodates typical fastener recess depths
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional accuracy
• 3 inch overall length fits standard collet and toolholder setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide counterbore for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with standard 0.5 inch collet or end mill toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the 0.5 inch shank in a properly sized collet or toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Power down the spindle completely before tool changes. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for cutting speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material and coating type.
