Kennametal HARVI I TE
HARVI I TE is Kennametal's four-flute solid-carbide end-mill family for roughing and finishing across broad material and operation coverage. The directory contains square, radiused, chamfered, ball-nose, necked, short, long, plain-shank, and Weldon-shank variants, so the exact material number and catalog ID must travel with any performance or substitution claim.
Product system overview
HARVI I TE is Kennametal's four-flute solid-carbide end-mill family for roughing and finishing across broad material and operation coverage. The directory contains square, radiused, chamfered, ball-nose, necked, short, long, plain-shank, and Weldon-shank variants, so the exact material number and catalog ID must travel with any performance or substitution claim.
Industries and applications
- Roughing and finishing with one four-flute solid-carbide family across steels, stainless steels, cast irons, high-temperature alloys, and selected hardened materials.
- Dynamic milling, ramping, plunging, shoulder milling, and profile work using the appropriate end form, reach, and shank configuration.
- Small-parts and Swiss-type work using the dedicated HARVI I TE small-parts catalog branch.
Technical and quote details
- The core family uses four flutes with asymmetric divided flutes, variable helix, twisted end-face geometry, relief features, and chip gashes described on official item pages.
- Published end forms include square, radiused, chamfered, and ball nose with regular, short, long, and necked variants.
- Plain cylindrical and Weldon shanks are separate configurations; holder choice and projection should be matched to the exact tool record.
- Grades such as KCPM15 and KCSM15 are item dependent and should not be generalized across every HARVI I TE catalog number.
- Kennametal publishes a HARVI portfolio selection guide that distinguishes HARVI I TE from other HARVI flute-count and application families.

Selection notes
Store the Kennametal material number and catalog ID with diameter, flute length, reach, end form, corner treatment, shank, grade, and holder projection.
Use the current HARVI selection guide to choose the family, then the official item record for final dimensional and application confirmation.
Variables to validate
- The HARVI name spans several distinct families; flute count, end form, grade, diameter, reach, and shank must be exact before comparing performance.
- Material compatibility shown for one catalog item does not automatically apply to every geometry or grade in the family.
- Maximum engagement, ramp angle, speed, feed, coolant or air strategy, and holder projection depend on the exact item and setup.
