Harvey Tool 48662 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 48662 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metal, composite, and hard material applications. With a cutter diameter of 0.0625 inches (1/16 inch) and a length of cut of 0.186 inches, this tool is built for tight-tolerance work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 2-flute, single-end geometry with a 20-degree helix angle and right-hand cutting direction promotes efficient chip evacuation in slot milling, profiling, and plunge operations. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well-suited for non-ferrous metals and applications where coating adhesion or heat buildup is a concern. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill is sized for small-feature machining, including fine slots, narrow pockets, and detailed contours on CNC machining centers and manual mills. The 0.125-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collets used in precision machining setups. The 1.5-inch overall length provides enough reach for typical small-part applications while maintaining rigidity at this diameter. Upcut flute geometry assists in pulling chips away from the cut zone, helping to maintain a clean cutting edge during extended runs on aluminum, brass, plastics, and similar materials.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• 0.0625-inch (1/16 inch) cutter diameter for fine detail and small-feature work
• 2-flute upcut geometry promotes chip evacuation in slot and pocket milling
• 20-degree helix angle balances cutting efficiency with edge strength
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous metals and plastics
• Right-hand cutting direction, single-end configuration

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard collets accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter. Typical applications include small-feature milling in aluminum, brass, copper, and plastics.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the specified clamping depth in the collet or tool holder to maintain concentricity and prevent tool pullout. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a production run, as runout is especially critical at small diameters like 0.0625 inches.
