Harvey Tool 916516-C3 Chamfer Mill 3 Flute Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 916516-C3 is a 3-flute solid carbide chamfer mill designed for precision chamfering, deburring, and edge-breaking operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The tool features an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life in higher-speed cutting applications. With a 1/4 inch shank diameter and a 2.5 inch overall length, it is sized for use in CNC machining centers, mills, and drill presses where compact reach and rigidity matter. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation setups.

This chamfer mill is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, and production environments handling light to medium chamfering work. It is commonly used on aluminum, steel, stainless, and hardened materials where a clean, consistent edge break is required. The solid carbide construction provides the stiffness needed for tight-tolerance chamfer profiles. Machinists and CNC operators working with small-diameter tooling will find this format practical for confined features and shorter reach requirements.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 3-flute geometry for smooth cutting action and improved chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard spindle rotation
• 1/4 inch shank fits common collets and tool holders
• Compact 2.5 inch overall length suited for close-clearance setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch shank chamfer mill compatible with ER collets, end mill holders, and similar toolholding systems that accept 1/4 inch round shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or inspecting the tool. Seat the shank fully into the collet or tool holder and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before running at full speed.
