Harvey Tool 45016 Corner Rounding End Mill 1/4 in Radius 1 in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 45016 is a single-end, carbide-tipped corner rounding end mill designed to produce consistent radius profiles on workpiece edges. With a 1/4-inch corner radius and a 1-inch mill diameter, this 3-flute tool generates smooth, burr-free edge forms in a single pass on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright/uncoated finish makes it suitable for a wide range of base materials without the thermal-sensitivity concerns of coated alternatives. Machinists and toolroom operators select this style of tool when edge-breaking to a controlled radius is required as part of a finishing or deburring operation on milled components.

This corner rounding end mill is used in milling operations on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where a flared, radiused edge profile is needed. The 3/4-inch shank diameter provides rigid tool-holder engagement, reducing chatter during the profiling pass. Typical applications include finishing external edges on structural machined parts, die and mold components, and precision fixtures. The single-end configuration is standard for setups where tool runout and concentricity are controlled at the spindle.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch corner radius produces a consistent, repeatable edge profile in a single pass
• Carbide-tipped construction offers wear resistance over high-speed steel alternatives
• 3-flute flared geometry supports smooth chip evacuation during edge-rounding cuts
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a broad range of workpiece materials
• 3/4-inch shank diameter for rigid tool-holder seating and reduced vibration
• Single-end design optimized for controlled-depth profiling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard milling tool holders accepting a 3/4-inch straight shank, compatible with CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with appropriate collet chucks or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or changing tooling. Seat the 3/4-inch shank fully into the tool holder and torque the retention mechanism per the tool-holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before taking the first cut, and confirm depth-of-cut settings match the intended radius engagement to avoid overloading the carbide tips.
