Harvey Tool 24331-C6 Square End Mill 1/32 in 5 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 24331-C6 is a 5-flute solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a cutting diameter of 0.031 inches (1/32 inches) and a length of cut of 0.093 inches (3/32 inches), this tool is built for fine-feature work in hard and abrasive materials. The AlTiN coating provides excellent heat resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. A variable 44-degree helix angle reduces harmonics and chatter, improving surface finish and dimensional accuracy. Installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals, this end mill suits CNC machining centers and high-speed milling operations.

This end mill is suited for small-feature profiling, slotting, and contouring operations where precision and rigidity are critical. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets on CNC machining centers and precision milling machines. Its right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional and climb milling setups. The single-end configuration and 1.5-inch overall length make it appropriate for shallow-reach applications requiring minimal tool deflection. It is not center-cutting, so it is used for side milling and profiling rather than plunge operations.

Key Features

• 0.031-inch (1/32-inch) cutting diameter for fine-feature and micro-milling work
• 5-flute geometry increases feed rates and improves surface finish over 4-flute designs
• AlTiN coating delivers high heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Variable 44-degree helix angle reduces chatter and harmonic vibration during cuts
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in demanding applications
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC milling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill compatible with standard 1/8-inch collet systems on CNC machining centers and precision milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and all axes at rest. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or tool holder torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout before commencing cuts, as micro-diameter end mills are sensitive to tool holder concentricity. This tool is not center-cutting and should not be used for direct plunge operations.
