Harvey Tool 72054 Square End Mill 0.054 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 72054 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding machining applications. With a 0.054-inch cutting diameter and a 0.162-inch length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature work where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 1/8-inch shank diameter and 1-1/2-inch overall length make it well-suited for use in standard collet chucks and high-speed spindles. Its 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the centercutting geometry allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in tight tolerances will find this end mill appropriate for slots, pockets, and profiling passes on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers, knee mills, and similar machine tools where precise, small-diameter work is required. It is suitable for applications in mold making, die work, prototype machining, and component manufacturing where tight geometries demand a small-diameter tool. The uncoated solid carbide construction is appropriate for a wide range of base materials and can be run with or without cutting fluid depending on the workpiece material and machine setup.

Key Features

• 0.054-inch cutting diameter for fine-detail and small-feature milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute design aids chip clearance in slotting and plunge operations
• Centercutting geometry enables direct plunge entry
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute configuration for standard spindle use
• Uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard small-diameter square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with 1/8-inch collets or compatible toolholders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with collet-style toolholding systems. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool changer or spindle lock is engaged before seating or removing the end mill. Confirm proper collet size and torque to manufacturer specifications for the toolholder in use. Small-diameter carbide end mills are brittle — avoid side-loading during setup and verify runout before production cutting.
