Harvey Tool 48732-C4 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 48732-C4 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. It features a 1/2 inch cutter diameter, a 1-1/2 inch length of cut, and a 4 inch overall length with a matching 1/2 inch shank diameter. The 2-flute, single-end geometry with a 20-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation in upcut applications. An amorphous diamond coating increases surface hardness and lubricity, extending tool life when cutting abrasive or non-ferrous materials. This end mill is intended for use by machinists and tooling professionals in CNC and manual milling setups.

This end mill is well suited for milling operations on abrasive non-ferrous materials such as graphite, composites, ceramics, and plastics where the amorphous diamond coating provides a significant wear advantage. The right-hand cutting direction and upcut flute geometry make it appropriate for conventional and climb milling passes on CNC machining centers and vertical mills. It is a single-end tool, meaning the cutting geometry is on one end only, which is standard for precision tooling applications requiring consistent runout control.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch cutter diameter with matching 1/2 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder mounting
• 1-1/2 inch length of cut accommodates moderate-depth milling passes
• 2-flute upcut geometry promotes chip clearance in slotting and profiling operations
• 20-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Amorphous diamond coating extends tool life on abrasive and non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability under load

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-application solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting 1/2 inch shank tooling via standard collet chucks or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or tooling technicians. Secure the 1/2 inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the collet and holder bore for debris or wear before seating the tool. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling, in accordance with applicable machine safety procedures.
