Harvey Tool 49012 Square End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 49012 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 3/16 inch cutting diameter, 3 flutes, and a 30-degree helix angle, this tool delivers efficient chip evacuation and a clean cut on a wide range of workpiece materials. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating interaction with the workpiece is a concern. Extended reach geometry and a 2-13/16 inch reach length make it well-suited for accessing deep features without sacrificing rigidity. Machining professionals and toolroom operators rely on this end mill for close-tolerance profiling, slotting, and pocket milling operations.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills for light-to-medium milling tasks. The centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece, expanding its utility in die, mold, and general metalworking applications. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction are standard for conventional CNC programming. A 3/16 inch shank diameter matches common collet and chuck toolholding systems, making integration into existing setups straightforward.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 3/16 inch collet or end mill chuck toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom professional. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully within the collet or chuck to the recommended grip depth to prevent pullout during cutting. Inspect the tool shank and collet bore for chips or debris before mounting.
