Harvey Tool 982162 Square End Mill 1/16 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 982162 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precise milling in tight geometries and small-feature applications. With a 0.0625 inch (1/16 inch) cutting diameter and 3 flutes, this end mill delivers clean square-shoulder cuts in a variety of workpiece materials. The 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth chip evacuation and reduces cutting forces. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 0.093 inch (3/32 inch) length of cut and a 0.625 inch reach, this tool suits deep-reach work without sacrificing rigidity. It is centercutting, allowing direct plunge entry. Licensed machinists and CNC programmers working on close-tolerance parts are the primary users of this tool.

This end mill fits applications requiring fine detail work in metals, plastics, and composites at the micro end of the size range. The 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) shank diameter is compatible with standard collet systems. Right-hand cut and right-hand flute geometry follow conventional milling conventions. The bright, uncoated finish makes this tool suitable for non-ferrous materials and applications where a coating could affect dimensional tolerance at this small scale. Typical use cases include mold and die work, medical component machining, and precision fixture fabrication.

Key Features

• 0.0625 inch cutting diameter for small-feature and micro-milling applications
• 3-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces
• Centercutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• Extended reach of 0.625 inches for access to deeper pockets and features
• Bright, uncoated finish suited to non-ferrous and precision tolerance work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8 inch collet systems on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Fits applications requiring a square end mill in the 1/16 inch diameter class with a 30-degree right-hand helix geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the tool from the collet. Ensure the collet and holder are clean and free of chips or debris before clamping. At this diameter, tool runout is critical — verify TIR with a dial indicator before cutting and avoid excessive stick-out beyond what the application requires.
