Harvey Tool 44912-C4 | 0.1875" (3/16) Diameter x 0.2500" (1/4) Shank x 0.6250" (5/8) LOC x 2.0000" (2) OAL 1 Flute Hard Plastics Amorphous Diamond Carbide Plastics Single Flute Square End Mill

Description

The Harvey Tool 44912-C4 Plastics Single Flute Square End Mill is made for precision machining of hard plastics and non-ferrous materials. Featuring a 0.1875" (3/16) cutter diameter, it delivers controlled cutting performance in detail-focused routing and milling tasks. The 5/8 inch length of cut end mill provides an ideal balance between reach and rigidity for clean edge formation. Its single flute geometry improves chip evacuation, making it highly effective as a polycarbonate machining cutter and acrylic cutting solution. The amorphous diamond coated carbide tool surface significantly reduces friction and extends tool life during abrasive plastic machining. This coating also helps the cutter function as a chip welding resistant end mill, minimizing material adhesion and improving surface finish quality. With a 1/4 inch shank diameter, it offers stable clamping in CNC routers, milling machines, and high-speed spindle setups. The 2-inch overall length supports versatile reach in fixture-based and vacuum table compatible end mill applications. Manufactured as a non-ferrous material machining cutter, it also performs efficiently on aluminum, brass, and composite sheets. The 1-flute construction ensures aggressive chip removal and reduces heat buildup in thermoplastic operations. Its square end profile creates clean walls, flat-bottom slots, and precise edge finishing. The 3x LOC multiple enhances cutting depth capability while maintaining tool stability. This non-ferrous material cutting tool is especially useful in sign making, fixture plate work, and plastic component production. Engineers and machinists rely on it for high-speed routing with consistent dimensional control. The Harvey Tool 44912-C4 is an excellent choice for clean, chip-free machining in demanding plastic applications.
