Harvey Tool 35516 Square End Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 35516 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling operations in metalworking and machining environments. With a 1/4-inch cutting diameter and a 3/8-inch length of cut, this tool delivers clean, flat-bottomed cuts in a compact profile. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action across a range of materials. Three flutes provide a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge strength, making this mill well suited for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations. Machinists and CNC operators working with ferrous and non-ferrous metals will find this tool a reliable choice for detail work and extended-reach applications.

This end mill is built for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where extended reach and precise control are required. The 6-inch overall length with a 3-inch reach length allows access to deep features and recessed areas without sacrificing rigidity in the shank. The centercutting geometry enables plunge milling operations where needed. It is well suited for job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms working with aluminum, steel, plastics, and similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance compared to HSS tooling
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with cutting edge strength for versatile milling operations
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting and efficient chip flow
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry into workpieces
• Extended reach with 3-inch reach length and 6-inch overall length for access to deep or recessed features
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use across a broad range of common machining materials
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 1/4-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tooling procedures. Secure the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and torque to the holder manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting edges before use and discard any tool showing chipping or wear. Always bring spindle to a full stop before changing or adjusting tooling.
