Harvey Tool 984024-C3 Ball End Mill 0.375 in 4 Flute Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 984024-C3 is a single-end ball end mill designed for precision milling operations in metalworking and machining applications. Built from solid carbide with an AlTiN coating, this tool delivers hardness and heat resistance suited to cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials at elevated speeds. The 0.375 inch cutting diameter and 4-flute configuration support smooth finishes and efficient chip evacuation in contoured, profiling, and 3D surface milling work. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 3/8 inch shank, it mounts into standard toolholders found on vertical and horizontal CNC machining centers. This end mill is installed and operated by machinists and CNC technicians in job shop and production environments.

This end mill is suited for profiling, slotting, and finishing passes on complex contoured surfaces in both roughing and finishing applications. The 0.349 inch length of cut, 0.5 inch neck length, and reduced neck diameter of 0.1719 inches allow access to deeper pockets and tight-clearance features without sacrificing rigidity. Right-hand flute direction and right-hand cutting orientation are standard for conventional CNC machining center setups. The 300-degree wrap angle supports consistent radial engagement across contoured tool paths.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance for demanding milling operations
• AlTiN coating increases surface hardness and thermal resistance, extending tool life in dry and high-speed cutting
• 4-flute geometry supports efficient chip removal and improved surface finish on finish passes
• Reduced neck diameter of 0.1719 inches enables deep pocket and tight-clearance access
• Single-end design with 3/8 inch shank fits standard collet and end mill holders
• Right-hand cut and flute direction compatible with standard CNC machining center spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/8 inch shank end mill. Suitable for standard ER collets, side-lock holders, and shrink-fit toolholders sized for 3/8 inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Power down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully into the toolholder to the minimum insertion depth recommended by the toolholder manufacturer to maintain runout tolerances. Inspect the cutting edges and coating for chips or damage before mounting; do not use a damaged end mill.
