Harvey Tool 836412 Square End Mill 3/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 836412 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 3/16 inch diameter and a 5/8 inch length of cut, this single-end tool removes material cleanly along flat-bottomed features, slots, and contoured profiles. The 3-flute geometry and 30-degree helix angle balance chip evacuation with cutting efficiency, making it well-suited for applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy matter. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose use and leaves the base carbide substrate exposed for compatibility with a wide range of workpiece materials. Machinists and toolmakers across CNC job shops and production environments rely on this tool geometry for consistent results in tight-tolerance work.

This end mill is applicable to vertical machining centers, CNC routers, and manual knee mills capable of holding a 3/16 inch shank. It is suited for milling aluminum, brass, plastics, and mild steels where an uncoated carbide tool is preferred. The 2 inch overall length keeps the tool rigid in standard tool holders without requiring extended-reach setups. Its center-cutting capability allows plunge entry directly into the workpiece, which adds flexibility for pocket milling and ramp-entry toolpaths.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch diameter with matching 3/16 inch shank for direct collet or end mill holder retention
• 5/8 inch length of cut provides adequate flute engagement for standard slot and profile milling
• 3-flute design balances chip load and surface finish across a range of feed rates
• 30-degree right-hand helix promotes smooth cutting action and efficient chip flow
• Center-cutting geometry supports direct plunge entry and ramp-entry toolpaths
• Bright/uncoated solid carbide substrate compatible with a broad range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid carbide square end mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16 inch shank. No specific machine model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this part number.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank in a precision collet or end mill holder to the full shank engagement depth, and torque the retention mechanism per the tool holder manufacturer specification. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before tool changes. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and depth of cut being used.
