Harvey Tool 823031 Square End Mill 1/32 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 823031 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision material removal in demanding machining applications. With a 1/32 inch (0.0310 inch) cutting diameter and a 3-flute spiral geometry, this single-end tool delivers clean, accurate cuts in tight-tolerance work. A 30-degree right-hand helix promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well-suited for general-purpose and non-ferrous machining where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern. Machinists and CNC operators working in production and job-shop environments rely on tools like this for miniature and small-feature work.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, high-precision cutting is required. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials. The stub and standard series designation places this tool in the miniature end mill category, making it appropriate for micro-feature milling, slot cutting, and detail work in both prototype and production settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in small-diameter applications
• 3-flute spiral design balances chip clearance with tool strength at 1/32 inch diameter
• 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Center-cutting capable, allowing plunge entry into workpiece material
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials including CFRP and non-ferrous metals
• Single-end configuration with a 1/8 inch shank for standard collet and end mill holder compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/8 inch shank. Suitable for cutting steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and CFRP materials as indicated by ISO material codes P, M, K, N, and C.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC setup technician. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool holder or collet is clean and free of debris before securing the shank. At 1/32 inch diameter, this tool is highly susceptible to breakage from side-loading, runout, or improper feed-and-speed parameters — verify machine runout and cutting parameters before engaging the workpiece. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for minimum clamping engagement length.
