Harvey Tool 24162 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 24162 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/16 inch cutting diameter and a 45-degree helix angle, this tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight-tolerance work. The 2-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in both slotting and profiling passes. At 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 0.186 inch length of cut, this end mill is built for controlled depth engagement in small-feature machining. The bright, uncoated finish suits a wide range of base materials without the added cost of specialty coatings. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is suited for small-feature milling operations where tight dimensional control is required. The 1/16 inch diameter makes it appropriate for miniature slot milling, pocket milling, and contour work on precision components. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation match standard CNC and manual milling machine spindle direction. This tool is commonly used in job shops, prototype machining, mold making, and precision component manufacturing.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter for small-feature and micro-milling work
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 45-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into material
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard square end mill replacement for CNC and manual milling machines accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and powered down before installing or removing the end mill. Seat the 1/8 inch shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning any precision cut to confirm proper seating.
