Harvey Tool 72050 Square End Mill 0.05 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 72050 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 0.05 inch cutting diameter and a 0.15 inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 2-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous metals and other materials where coating is not required. This end mill is centercutting, enabling plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling operations. Machinists and CNC operators in production and job shop environments are the primary installers and users.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where tight tolerances and small-diameter cutting are required. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and pocket milling on aluminum, brass, copper, plastics, and similar materials. The 1/8 inch shank diameter suits standard collet and end mill holder systems commonly found in small-to-mid-size CNC equipment. Its single-end design is standard for this tool class.

Key Features

• 0.05 inch cutting diameter for fine, small-feature machining
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute, right-hand cutting and flute direction
• 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation
• Centercutting capability allows direct plunge entry
• Bright/uncoated finish optimized for non-ferrous and plastic materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/8 inch collets or end mill holders; suitable for small-diameter milling operations in non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials.

Installation Notes

This end mill is installed by machinists and CNC operators using a properly sized collet or end mill holder rated for 1/8 inch shanks. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before changing tooling. Secure the shank to the full depth recommended by the holder manufacturer to minimize runout and tool deflection. Verify collet condition and holder concentricity before use, as runout at this diameter range significantly affects tool life and cut quality.
