Harvey Tool 24532 Ball End Mill 0.032 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 24532 is a miniature solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a 0.0320-inch cutting diameter, a 0.0480-inch length of cut, and a 2-flute spiral geometry at a 30-degree helix angle, this tool is built for controlled material removal in small-feature work. The bright/uncoated finish and stub-length configuration keep the tool rigid and accurate. It is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.1250 inches in diameter and an overall length of 1.5000 inches. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers will find this tool well-suited for both roughing and finishing passes in miniature geometries.

This end mill is appropriate for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals, covering ISO material groups P, M, K, and N. The stub-length design limits overhang and maximizes stiffness, making it a practical choice for shallow-pocket profiling, slot milling, and contour work on small precision components. It is commonly used in aerospace, medical device, mold-and-die, and electronics manufacturing environments where small-diameter, high-accuracy cutting tools are required.

Key Features

• 0.0320-inch ball nose diameter with a 0.0160-inch nose radius for precise small-feature profiling
• 2-flute right-hand spiral geometry with a 30-degree helix angle for chip evacuation and smooth cutting
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Stub-length design reduces deflection and improves dimensional accuracy in shallow cuts
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with or without coolant across a broad range of workpiece materials
• Capable of both roughing and finishing material removal in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style miniature ball end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 0.1250-inch straight cylindrical shank. Rated for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation of miniature end mills requires a precision collet or end mill holder rated for the 0.1250-inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle and tool holder are clean and free of debris before seating the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as small-diameter carbide tools are sensitive to even minor misalignment. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and cutting tool manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for the specific workpiece material to avoid tool breakage.
