Harvey Tool 947062 Ball End Mill 0.062 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 947062 is a solid carbide ball end mill designed for precision milling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. It features a 0.062 inch mill diameter, a 0.093 inch length of cut, and a 3-flute helical configuration with a 42-degree variable helix angle. The stub flute, long-reach geometry keeps the cutting zone short and rigid while extending reach to 0.312 inches, reducing deflection in deep-cavity and contour milling applications. This tool is intended for use by machinists and CNC programmers working in job shops and production environments.

The 947062 is suited for steel and stainless steel roughing as well as finishing passes on cast iron and non-ferrous metals. Its stub flute length and extended reach make it well matched to deep slot, pocket, and profiling operations where tool rigidity is critical. The straight cylindrical shank at 0.125 inches diameter fits standard collet holders common in vertical and horizontal machining centers. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where coating is not required or where regrinding is anticipated.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Variable helix angle at 42 degrees reduces harmonic chatter during cut
• Stub flute, long-reach geometry provides extended reach of 0.312 inches with a short 0.093 inch length of cut
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation and surface finish on a 0.062 inch diameter tool
• Right-hand cut and right-hand flute direction for standard CNC spindle operation
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with most cutting fluids and suitable for regrind cycles

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel (P), stainless steel (M), cast iron (K), and non-ferrous metal (N) workpiece materials. Fits any standard collet or end mill holder accepting a 0.125 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this end mill should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine is in an e-stop or powered-off state before tool changes. Seat the shank fully in the collet and torque the collet nut to holder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning cuts, as runout on a 0.062 inch diameter tool will significantly affect tool life and surface finish.
