Harvey Tool 48724-C4 Square End Mill 3/8 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 48724-C4 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations across a wide range of materials. With a 3/8 inch cutter diameter and a 1-1/8 inch length of cut, this tool delivers clean, square-shouldered profiles in slots, pockets, and profiling passes. The 2-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation, and the amorphous diamond finish reduces friction and extends tool life in demanding applications. The right-hand cut, right-hand flute configuration is the standard for general-purpose CNC milling. Machinists and toolroom operators in job shops, production facilities, and maintenance environments use this end mill for everyday and specialty work.

This end mill suits vertical machining centers, CNC mills, and manual knee mills where a 3/8 inch shank is the required interface. The centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece without a pre-drilled hole. The 20-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and controlled chip flow. Its 3 inch overall length fits standard tool holders and provides adequate reach for common milling depths without sacrificing rigidity. Typical applications include contouring, slotting, and side milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as composite materials suited to diamond-coated tooling.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch cutter diameter with matching 3/8 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting
• Amorphous diamond finish for reduced friction and improved wear resistance
• 2-flute upcut geometry for effective chip evacuation in slot and pocket milling
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry without a pilot hole
• 20-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and stable tool engagement
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute single-end configuration — standard CNC milling setup

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch shank end mill via collet, end mill holder, or shrink-fit tooling system. No specific machine model compatibility was stated in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down or placed in E-stop before changing tooling. Seat the shank to the minimum engagement depth recommended by the tool holder manufacturer, and verify runout with a dial indicator before production cuts. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use and replace the tool when edge condition degrades to avoid workpiece damage.
