Harvey Tool 960450 Chamfer Mill 1/2 in 2 Flute Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 960450 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for precision chamfering, deburring, and edge-breaking operations in metal fabrication and machining environments. With a 1/2 inch cutter head diameter and a 1/2 inch shank, this single-end tool mounts directly into standard ER or set-screw toolholders. The bright, uncoated finish makes it well-suited for non-ferrous materials and general-purpose applications where coating adhesion is not a requirement. Two flutes provide efficient chip evacuation while maintaining edge sharpness during repeated passes. The 3 inch overall length gives adequate reach without sacrificing rigidity in typical CNC mill and VMC setups.

This chamfer mill is used in production and job-shop environments for applying consistent chamfers and countersinks on machined parts. The dual included angle geometry — 80 degrees and 100 degrees — allows the tool to address multiple chamfer specifications without a tool change in setups where both angles are needed. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation. Machinists and CNC operators working in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking applications will find this tool applicable to a wide range of edge-prep tasks on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance compared to HSS alternatives
• Dual included angle — 80 degrees and 100 degrees — in a single tool body
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for non-ferrous and general-purpose machining
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard spindle rotation
• 1/2 inch shank diameter compatible with common ER collet and set-screw toolholders
• 2-flute geometry supports chip clearance during chamfering and deburring passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide chamfer mill for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard 1/2 inch toolholding systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Power down and lock out the spindle drive before mounting or removing the tool from the holder. Ensure the shank is seated to the full recommended engagement depth in the collet or set-screw holder before securing. Verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting solid carbide tooling, as carbide is brittle and sensitive to eccentric loading.
