Harvey Tool 948293-C3 Square End Mill 3/32 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 948293-C3 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for high-performance milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The cutting diameter is 3/32 inches (0.093 inches), with a 1/2 inch length of cut and a 3-inch overall length. Three right-hand flutes with a 30-degree helix angle provide efficient chip evacuation and a smooth cutting action. An AlTiN (Aluminum Titanium Nitride) coating adds thermal resistance and extends tool life in demanding milling applications. This is a single-end, center-cutting tool, meaning it can plunge as well as profile cut.

This end mill is suited for precision slot milling, profiling, and contouring in CNC machining environments. The 1/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and tool holders used on vertical machining centers and CNC routers. The extended reach configuration, with a 1.4 inch reach length, allows access to deeper features or stepped workpieces without interference from the shank. It is typically installed and operated by machinists and CNC technicians in production shop and toolroom settings.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating for elevated thermal tolerance and extended tool life
• 3 flutes with 30-degree right-hand helix for efficient chip removal
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into workpiece
• Extended reach geometry with 1.4 inch reach length for deep-feature access
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1/8 inch collets and tool holders on CNC vertical machining centers and high-speed CNC routers.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or CNC technicians. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the collet and torque the collet nut to the tool holder manufacturer specification. Verify runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cutting program, as excessive runout will shorten tool life and degrade surface finish.
