Harvey Tool 968630-C3 Chamfer Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 968630-C3 is a solid carbide chamfer mill designed for deburring, chamfering, and edge-breaking operations on a wide range of workpiece materials. With a 1/8 inch cutter head diameter and 3 flutes, this tool delivers clean, controlled cuts in tight spaces and on small-feature components. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The right-hand cutting direction and 1/8 inch shank make it compatible with standard collet chucks and tool holders used in CNC and manual milling setups. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with precision parts will find this tool well-suited to finish work on metals and composites.

This chamfer mill is intended for use in machining centers, CNC milling machines, and manual knee mills where small-diameter chamfering is required. It is particularly useful for deburring drilled holes, creating lead-in chamfers on threaded features, and breaking sharp edges on precision components. The compact 1/8 inch diameter makes it applicable to small-part machining common in aerospace, medical device, and mold-and-die work. The solid carbide construction supports higher spindle speeds and feeds compared to HSS alternatives, making it appropriate for production environments.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch cutter head diameter suited for small-feature and tight-clearance chamfering
• 3-flute geometry provides a balance of chip evacuation and surface finish quality
• Solid carbide construction supports elevated spindle speeds and extended tool life
• AlTiN coating improves thermal resistance and wear performance in ferrous and abrasive materials
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and manual milling setups
• 0.074 inch length of cut for controlled edge engagement on small chamfer depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chamfer mill for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 1/8 inch shank diameter in standard collet or end mill tool holders.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard tool-holding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or unloading the tool. Confirm collet size matches the 1/8 inch shank diameter and that runout is minimized during tool setup to protect the small-diameter carbide shank from breakage. Consult the machine manufacturer and applicable shop safety standards for recommended speeds and feeds for solid carbide tooling at this diameter.
