Harvey Tool 944562 Square End Mill 1/16 in 2 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 944562 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 0.186 inch length of cut, this tool handles slot milling, profiling, and pocketing in small-feature work. The 2-flute, right-hand cut geometry with a 30-degree helix angle promotes chip evacuation and smooth cutting action. The uncoated bright finish makes it well suited for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites where coating buildup or adhesion is a concern. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on CNC machining centers will find this end mill appropriate for fine detail work where rigidity and dimensional accuracy are critical.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC milling applications requiring small-diameter tooling, including micro-slot cutting, contour milling, and fine-feature machining in both prototype and production environments. The 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders used across a wide range of vertical and horizontal machining centers. The extended reach configuration, with a 5/16 inch reach length, allows access to features in recessed or stepped workpiece geometries without sacrificing rigidity at this scale.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in small-diameter tooling
• 0.0625 inch cutting diameter with 0.186 inch length of cut for fine-feature milling
• 2-flute, right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry with 30-degree helix angle
• Centercutting design allows plunge entry directly into workpiece material
• Uncoated bright finish suited for non-ferrous materials and plastics
• Extended reach with 0.312 inch reach length for recessed feature access

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and milling machines equipped with collets or toolholders accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter. Suitable for applications within the 0.100 to 0.200 inch length-of-cut range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures for small-diameter end mills. Ensure the collet and toolholder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank to the correct insertion depth. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut, as small-diameter carbide tooling is sensitive to excessive runout and can fracture under lateral load. Always confirm spindle speed and feed rate parameters are appropriate for the workpiece material and tool diameter before engaging the cut.
