Harvey Tool 34716 Square End Mill 1/4 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 34716 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metal, composites, and other hard materials. With a 1/4-inch cutting diameter and a 3/8-inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers accurate edge geometry for slotting, profiling, and peripheral milling. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation while reducing cutting forces. Three flutes provide a balance between chip load capacity and surface finish quality. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation make it compatible with standard CNC and manual milling setups. The uncoated carbide substrate is suited for a range of general-purpose milling applications.

This end mill is intended for use in machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where close-tolerance cutting is required. The 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems, and the 4-inch overall length accommodates moderate reach requirements. The centercutting geometry allows for plunge cutting in addition to standard peripheral and slot milling. A 2-inch reach length supports work in recessed features or stepped part profiles common in precision machining environments. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in job shops or production facilities will find this tool well-suited to everyday milling tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Use a calibrated torque wrench and appropriate collet or end mill holder to secure the shank. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation before beginning a cut.
