Harvey Tool 836008 Ball End Mill 0.125 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 836008 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precise milling in metalworking applications. With a 0.125 inch diameter and a 0.375 inch length of cut, this single-end tool is built for tight-tolerance profiling, contouring, and finishing work in small-feature geometries. The 3-flute configuration with a 30-degree helix angle balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. Straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.125 inches in diameter, fitting standard collet systems. Overall length is 1.5 inches. The bright uncoated finish makes this mill suited for applications where coating interaction with workpiece material is a concern. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working in production or prototype environments will find this tool appropriate for both roughing and finishing passes.

This ball end mill is intended for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It is well suited for CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter tooling is required for detail work, radius floors, and contoured surfaces. The miniature form factor makes it a practical choice for mold work, die cavities, and precision component machining where larger tooling cannot reach. Single-end geometry means the tool is replaced rather than reversed when cutting edges are worn.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in metal cutting
• 3-flute design with 30-degree right-hand helical flutes for balanced chip flow and finish quality
• 0.0625 inch nose radius provides accurate ball-end geometry for radius floor work
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
• Straight-cylindrical shank for standard collet chuck compatibility
• Rated for both roughing and finishing material removal in a single tool

Compatibility

Designed as a miniature solid carbide ball end mill for use in standard collet systems accepting a 0.125 inch shank. Suitable for CNC and manual milling operations on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC setup technicians using a collet chuck or end mill holder rated for the 0.125 inch shank diameter. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked before inserting or removing the tool. Verify runout with a dial indicator after seating the tool, as excessive runout on small-diameter carbide end mills accelerates breakage. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer feeds-and-speeds guidance for the specific workpiece material.
