Harvey Tool 48708-C4 Square End Mill 1/8 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 48708-C4 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-precision milling operations. With a 1/8 inch cutter diameter and a 3/8 inch length of cut, this single-end tool handles slotting, profiling, and contouring in demanding materials. The amorphous diamond coating reduces friction and extends tool life when cutting abrasive workpiece materials. A 20-degree helix angle and 2-flute configuration support efficient chip evacuation. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom technicians working with CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is suited for precision work in composite materials, graphite, plastics, and other abrasive non-ferrous materials where standard coatings wear prematurely. The 1/8 inch shank diameter allows use in collet systems and toolholders sized for small-diameter tooling. With a 1-1/2 inch overall length, it fits standard tool length requirements for most light-duty milling setups. Right-hand cutting direction and upcut flute geometry are standard for this configuration.

Key Features

• Amorphous diamond coating for extended wear resistance in abrasive materials
• 1/8 inch cutter diameter with 3/8 inch length of cut for fine detail work
• 2-flute upcut geometry promotes chip clearing in blind slots and pockets
• 20-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish
• Single-end solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting 1/8 inch shank diameter toolholders and collets with right-hand rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet or toolholder and torque the retention nut per the toolholder manufacturer's specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as excessive runout at this diameter will accelerate tool wear and reduce surface quality.
