Harvey Tool 942324 Square End Mill 3/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 942324 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. With a 3/8-inch cutting diameter, a 1-1/8-inch length of cut, and a 3-flute geometry, this end mill balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality. The 42-degree variable helix design reduces harmonic vibration during cutting, which improves tool life and finish quality in demanding cuts. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous materials and certain ferrous applications where coating is not required. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of tooling in CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This end mill is appropriate for use in both production and prototype machining environments. The single-end, right-hand cutting and right-hand flute configuration is standard for conventional CNC mill spindles. It fits applications requiring a compact reach profile, as the overall length of 2-1/2 inches keeps deflection low. The 3/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in vertical machining centers and knee mills used in job shops, tool rooms, and production facilities.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch cutting diameter with 1-1/8-inch length of cut for precise slot and profile milling
• Variable helix geometry reduces chatter and vibration during aggressive cuts
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and cut quality across a range of materials
• Center-cutting capable, allowing direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and general-purpose machining

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide square end mill for use with standard 3/8-inch collets and end mill holders on CNC vertical machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

This tooling is installed by machinists or tool-room technicians on CNC or manual milling machines. Always ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the control is in an appropriate safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention nut to the machine and holder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
