Harvey Tool 897216-C3 Chamfer Mill 1/4 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 897216-C3 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for precise edge chamfering and deburring on a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 1/4 inch cutter head diameter, 3 flutes, and a 90-degree included angle, this tool delivers clean, consistent chamfers in a single pass. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in abrasive or high-speed cutting conditions. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1/4 inch shank diameter, the 897216-C3 fits standard collet toolholders and is sized for precision work on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This chamfer mill is suited for use in job shops, production machining environments, and toolroom applications. It handles edge preparation, countersinking, and spot-facing tasks on metals, composites, and engineered plastics. The right-hand cutting direction and single-end configuration make it a direct-mount tool for standard spindle setups. Machinists and CNC operators working on tight-tolerance parts will find this tool appropriate for both finishing passes and light chamfering operations where edge quality is critical.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for improved thermal stability and tool life in abrasive materials
• 90-degree included angle for standard chamfer and countersink geometry
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits common collet and toolholder systems
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and manual mill spindles

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/4 inch collet toolholders and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Compatible with right-hand spindle rotation setups typical in general metalworking and precision machining applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 1/4 inch shank diameter before tightening. Follow machine manufacturer torque guidelines for collet nut tightening and confirm runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut.
