Harvey Tool 60332 Square End Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 60332 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.5 inch cutter diameter and a 4 inch length of cut, this two-flute end mill handles slotting, profiling, and plunge cuts where a full-radius corner profile is required. The bright uncoated carbide construction provides a sharp, consistent edge and suits a wide range of workpiece materials. At 7 inches overall length and a 0.5 inch shank diameter, the tool balances reach and rigidity for demanding CNC and manual milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this style of end mill.

This end mill is suited for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and similar milling platforms where a single-end square profile tool is required. The upcut flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during climb and conventional milling passes. The 20-degree helix angle provides a balance between cutting efficiency and lateral load on the spindle. This tool is typically selected for finishing and semi-finishing passes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials where a flat-bottomed feature is the objective.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in precision milling
• 0.5 inch cutter diameter with a 4 inch length of cut for deep-reach profiling
• Two-flute design supports chip clearance in slotting and plunge applications
• 20-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Upcut flute geometry promotes chip evacuation away from the cut zone
• Bright uncoated finish maintains sharp edge geometry without coating buildup
• Right-hand cutting direction, single-end configuration for standard spindle use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use in standard 0.5 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC setup technicians. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the collet or holder. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate collet nut wrench to secure the shank to the manufacturer-specified holding force for the collet system in use. Inspect the shank and flutes for chips or damage before each use, and verify runout with a dial indicator after tool installation.
