Harvey Tool 24210-C8 Square End Mill 5/32 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 24210-C8 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. With a 5/32-inch (0.1562-inch) cutting diameter and a 9/16-inch (0.562-inch) length of cut, this end mill delivers clean, flat-bottomed cuts in tight geometries. The 45-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces, which helps maintain surface finish quality at higher feed rates. A Titanium Diboride (TiB2) coating adds hardness and lubricity to the cutting surfaces, extending tool life in abrasive and non-ferrous materials. This is a single-end tool packaged individually.

This end mill is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, high-precision profiling, slotting, or contouring is required. The 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in job shops, tool rooms, and production environments. Its center-cutting geometry allows plunge entry. Typical applications include finishing passes on aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials, as well as plastics and composites where a TiB2 coating performs well. The 2-inch overall length provides adequate clearance for most shallow-to-medium-depth features.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance over high-speed steel alternatives
• 45-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces
• Titanium Diboride (TiB2) coating improves hardness and lubricity for extended tool life in non-ferrous materials
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry without pre-drilling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction compatible with standard CNC and manual spindle setups
• 2-flute geometry maximizes chip clearance in slotting and profiling operations

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/16-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Best suited for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a machinist or CNC operator familiar with end mill setup procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or holder to the recommended engagement depth and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before use and verify runout with a dial indicator when tolerances are critical.
