Harvey Tool 982208 Square End Mill 1/8 in 3 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 982208 is a solid carbide square end mill designed for precision milling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 1/8 inch cutting diameter and 3/16 inch length of cut, this single-end tool delivers sharp, accurate profiles in tight-tolerance applications. The 3-flute geometry balances chip evacuation and surface finish, making it well-suited for finishing passes and slotting in harder workpiece materials. A 30-degree helix angle promotes smooth cutting action and reduces chatter. The bright, uncoated finish makes it a general-purpose choice where coating is not required by the application.

This end mill is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills where small-diameter, close-tolerance work is required. The 1/4 inch reach length and 2.5 inch overall length allow access into moderately deep pockets and features without excessive tool deflection. Typical applications include profiling, slotting, and contouring in aluminum, brass, steel, and plastics. The center-cutting capability allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece. It is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision manufacturing specialists.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch cutting diameter with 3/16 inch length of cut for precise, small-feature machining
• 3-flute solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 30-degree right-hand helix for smooth chip evacuation and reduced chatter
• Center-cutting design allows direct plunge entry into the workpiece
• 1.25 inch reach length supports access into deeper pockets without extended tooling
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose applications across a range of materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose small-diameter end mill compatible with standard 1/8 inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before changing tooling. Seat the 1/8 inch shank fully into a matched collet or end mill holder and torque the retention hardware per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout at the cutting diameter before beginning the operation, as excessive runout on small-diameter carbide tools increases breakage risk.
