Harvey Tool 73062 Square End Mill 1/16 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 73062 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) mill diameter and four flutes, it delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight tolerances. The 30-degree helix angle promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 0.186 inch length of cut, this single-end tool is well suited for fine detail work and shallow slotting passes. The bright, uncoated finish makes it a straightforward choice for general-purpose milling where a coating is not required. Licensed machinists and CNC operators are the primary users.

This end mill is built for small-diameter precision work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight geometries demand a reliable, consistent cutting edge. The 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and tool holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and CNC mills. Its centercutting capability allows plunge entry as well as peripheral and slot milling. The right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction align with standard CNC spindle rotation. This tool is appropriate for mold detail work, micro-slot milling, and engraving-depth passes in a production or job-shop environment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in fine-pitch milling
• 4-flute geometry for improved surface finish and material removal balance
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip flow and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry without a pre-drilled start hole
• Right-hand cut, right-hand flute for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single-end square end mill for use in collet-based tool holders and end mill holders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter on vertical machining centers and CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an e-stop or tool-change state before loading or removing the end mill. Seat the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention mechanism to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut, as excessive runout on small-diameter carbide tools significantly reduces tool life and surface finish quality.
