Harvey Tool 52512 Square End Mill 1 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 52512 is a single-flute, solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in a wide range of materials. It features a 0.1875 inch cutter diameter, a 1 inch length of cut, and a 3 inch overall length with a matching 0.1875 inch shank diameter. The 22-degree upcut helix promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and improving cut quality in slotting and profiling applications. The bright, uncoated finish makes this tool well suited for use in non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of end mill in CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is appropriate for light-to-moderate material removal in applications requiring a small-diameter cutting tool with a right-hand cut and right-hand flute orientation. The single-flute design is especially effective in softer materials where chip load per tooth needs to remain high to prevent rubbing and tool deflection. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and plunge milling in production and prototype machining environments. Its compact 0.1875 inch diameter makes it a go-to choice when working in confined features or when fine detail is required.

Key Features

• Single-flute design maximizes chip clearance and reduces recutting in soft or gummy materials
• 22-degree upcut helix angle promotes positive chip evacuation during milling
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel tooling
• Right-hand cut with right-hand flute orientation compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites
• Matched shank and cutter diameter of 0.1875 inches simplifies collet selection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard square end mill for use in CNC machining centers, manual milling machines, and similar equipment accepting a 0.1875 inch shank diameter collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer's guidelines. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before beginning a cut. Confirm spindle rotation direction matches the right-hand cut orientation of this tool before initiating the machining cycle.
