Harvey Tool 837862 Square End Mill 1/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 837862 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in tight-tolerance applications. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter and a 9/16 inch (0.562 inch) length of cut, this tool is built for small-feature machining where dimensional accuracy is critical. The 3-flute geometry and 30-degree helix angle support smooth chip evacuation and stable cutting performance in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish makes it straightforward to inspect for wear. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and CNC operators working on detailed part features will find this end mill suited to fine slotting, profiling, and contouring work.

This end mill is used in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter tooling is required. The 1/8 inch shank diameter allows it to seat in standard collets and tool holders commonly found in production and prototype shops. It is appropriate for light-depth cuts in applications requiring fine feature definition, such as mold work, aerospace components, or precision mechanical parts. The single-end design means the tool is replaced rather than reversed when the cutting edge is spent.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in small-diameter tooling
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance with cutting edge count at this diameter
• 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and chip flow
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous metals and general-purpose milling
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction, standard CNC spindle compatible
• Non-centercutting geometry — not intended for direct plunge entry

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/8 inch collets and compatible tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills requiring small-diameter square end mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8 inch shank fully and evenly in the collet to the recommended engagement depth to prevent runout and tool pullout during cutting. Because this is a non-centercutting end mill, do not program direct plunge moves — use ramping or helical entry strategies instead.
