Harvey Tool 72022 Square End Mill 0.022in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 72022 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in demanding machining environments. With a 0.022-inch cutting diameter and a 0.066-inch length of cut, this tool is purpose-built for micro-milling applications where tight tolerances and fine detail are required. The 1/8-inch (0.125-inch) shank diameter makes it compatible with standard collet systems, while the 1.5-inch overall length provides adequate reach without sacrificing rigidity. A 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. Licensed machinists and CNC operators working in tool and die, medical device, and aerospace applications regularly rely on end mills of this class.

This end mill suits small-feature milling tasks in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where a miniature tool profile is necessary. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites where coating adhesion or heat buildup is not a concern. The centercutting geometry allows plunge cutting as well as conventional peripheral and slot milling. It is sized for use in high-speed CNC machining centers and precision manual mills equipped with collet holders in the 1/8-inch range.

Key Features

• 0.022-inch cutting diameter for micro-milling and fine-detail work
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at high spindle speeds
• 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting design enables direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites
• 2-flute geometry maximizes chip clearance in small-diameter applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and precision mills equipped with 1/8-inch collet holders or compatible tool holders accepting a 0.125-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Tool installation and changeout should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Secure the shank fully within the collet to the recommended engagement depth before tightening. Avoid side-loading beyond the tool's rated geometry, and inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use. Follow the machine manufacturer's speed and feed recommendations for micro-diameter end mills to prevent tool breakage.
