Harvey Tool 950524 Drill Mill 3/8 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 950524 is a solid carbide drill mill designed to perform both drilling and milling operations in a single tool, reducing the need for multiple tool changes during machining setups. With a 3/8 inch diameter and a 140-degree point angle, this tool handles center drilling, spot drilling, and side milling in one pass. The 7/8 inch length of cut and 2-flute geometry make it well suited for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials where chip evacuation and surface finish both matter. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where coating is not required or where re-sharpening is anticipated.

This drill mill is used in general machining environments including job shops, production machining, and tool rooms. It fits standard 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders, making it straightforward to integrate into CNC machining centers and manual knee mills alike. The 2-1/2 inch overall length provides enough reach for most shallow-to-moderate depth operations while keeping deflection minimal. Machinists working with aluminum, brass, mild steel, and plastics will find this geometry a practical choice for combined drilling and profiling work.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 140-degree point angle supports spot drilling and through-hole drilling in a single tool
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance during side milling and plunge operations
• 3/8 inch shank matches standard collets and end mill holders without adapters
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of materials and resharpenable
• 7/8 inch length of cut allows full-diameter side milling in shallow pockets

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for 3/8 inch shank drill mills in standard ER collet chucks, shrink-fit holders, and set-screw end mill holders used on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following the machine tool manufacturer guidelines for tool holding and runout tolerances. Power down and lock out the spindle before loading or unloading the tool. Ensure the shank is seated to the full recommended insertion depth in the holder and that set screws or collet nuts are torqued according to the holder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use, as carbide is brittle and can fracture if used in a compromised state.
