Harvey Tool 897962 Square End Mill 1/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 897962 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting diameter and a 7/16 inch (0.4370 inch) length of cut, this tool is built for tight-tolerance profiling, slotting, and contouring in confined areas. The 3-flute geometry with a 30-degree helix angle supports efficient chip evacuation while maintaining a strong core. Right-hand cutting and right-hand flute direction make it a standard fit for conventional CNC and manual milling setups. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for a wide range of work materials where coating is not required.

This end mill is suited for use on CNC machining centers, knee mills, and similar equipment performing fine detail work, micro-milling, or operations requiring a small-diameter single-end tool. The 1/8 inch shank diameter and 2.5 inch overall length allow it to reach into features where larger tooling cannot fit. Machinists working on molds, dies, medical components, aerospace parts, and precision fixtures will find this tool applicable to their workflow. It is sold as a single-end tool and is intended for single-use or limited-service replacement.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch cutting diameter with 7/16 inch length of cut for small-feature milling
• 3-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and surface finish quality
• Right-hand cutting, right-hand flute direction for standard spindle compatibility
• Center-cutting design allows plunge entry as well as peripheral cutting
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement small-diameter end mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch straight shank toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel. Secure the 1/8 inch shank in a matched collet or end mill holder, ensuring proper seat depth and runout before engaging the workpiece. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the 1/16 inch diameter before cutting, as small-diameter carbide tooling is sensitive to side load and deflection. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting the tool.
