Harvey Tool 24208 Square End Mill 1/8 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 24208 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 1/8-inch cutting diameter with a 1/2-inch length of cut and a 1-1/2-inch overall length. The 2-flute geometry with a 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The centercutting design allows for plunge entry into the workpiece. This end mill is uncoated and runs right-hand cut with right-hand flute orientation, making it a standard configuration for general-purpose milling applications.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and fine detail work are required. Its compact 1/8-inch diameter and short overall length make it well-suited for slotting, profiling, and pocket milling in small-feature parts. Machinists working in prototype shops, toolrooms, and production environments will find this tool appropriate for aluminum, brass, plastics, and light steel applications. The 1/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard ER collet systems and end mill holders of the same bore size.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision milling
• 45-degree helix angle for improved chip flow and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle use
• 2-flute design provides clearance for chip evacuation in slotting and pocket operations
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8-inch shank diameter via ER collet chuck or equivalent end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or changing tooling. Verify collet bore size matches the 1/8-inch shank before tightening. Confirm runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool to ensure concentricity before beginning a cut.
