Harvey Tool 72049 Square End Mill 0.049 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 72049 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a cutting diameter of 0.049 inches and a length of cut (LOC) of 0.147 inches, this tool is built for small-feature work where tight tolerances are required. The 2-flute, right-hand cutting geometry with a 30-degree helix angle provides efficient chip evacuation and clean wall finishes. The bright, uncoated surface makes it well suited for non-ferrous materials and general-purpose milling where coating is not required. Machinists and CNC operators working on intricate or small-scale components will find this tool a reliable choice for slotting, profiling, and pocketing operations.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter tooling is needed. The 1/8 inch shank diameter makes it compatible with standard collet systems commonly found in production and job-shop environments. With a 1.5 inch overall length and single-end configuration, it fits a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty milling setups. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry into workpiece material. This tool is typically installed and operated by machinists, toolmakers, and CNC programmers working in precision manufacturing, mold making, and aerospace or medical component production.

Key Features

• 0.049 inch cutting diameter for fine, small-feature milling work
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute design with right-hand flute direction promotes chip clearance in slotting and profiling
• 30-degree helix angle balances cutting forces and surface finish quality
• Centercutting geometry allows direct plunge milling without pre-drilled entry
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous and general-purpose applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use solid carbide square end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills using 1/8 inch collets or end mill holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully powered down and the tool holder is clean and free of debris before inserting the shank. Use a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for 0.125 inch shank diameter and torque to the holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator after installation to confirm concentricity before beginning any cut cycle.
