Harvey Tool 73024-C3 Square End Mill 0.6mm 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 73024-C3 is a miniature square end mill designed for precision milling in demanding metalworking and machining applications. Built from solid carbide and coated with AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride), this tool delivers the hardness and thermal resistance required for high-speed cutting in ferrous metals, hardened steels, and aerospace alloys. The 0.6 mm cutting diameter and 0.072 inch length of cut make it suited for fine detail work, micro-slot milling, and tight-tolerance features. The 4-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation while maintaining surface finish quality. This is a single-end, right-hand cutting tool with a 30-degree helix angle.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and precision mills where small-diameter tooling is required. Typical applications include die and mold work, medical device component machining, electronics manufacturing, and aerospace part production where micro-scale features and tight tolerances are standard. The 1/8 inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet systems commonly found in vertical machining centers and high-speed spindle setups. It is installed and operated by machinists, tooling engineers, and CNC technicians working in precision manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating provides high-temperature oxidation resistance and extended tool life
• 4-flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish performance
• 30-degree right-hand helix angle for smooth cutting action and reduced deflection
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpieces
• 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet toolholders widely used in CNC setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision cutting tool for use in CNC machining centers and high-speed spindles equipped with 1/8 inch collet toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Ensure the shank is fully seated and properly torqued in the collet holder per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cutting operation, as excessive runout at this diameter can lead to rapid tool failure or dimensional inaccuracy.
