Harvey Tool 25030 Engraving Cutter 30 Degree 1/4 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 25030 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precise material marking, engraving, and fine detail work on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built with a 30-degree included angle and a pointed tip geometry, it delivers sharp, clean lines in demanding machining applications. The single-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in tight cutting paths, and the uncoated solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for consistent edge retention. With a 0.25-inch cutter diameter and a 0.466-inch length of cut, this tool is sized for fine-feature engraving work on CNC machining centers and manual mills alike. It weighs 0.01 pounds.

The 25030 is suited for engraving operations on a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces, including steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. It fits standard 1/4-inch collets or tool holders, making it a straightforward drop-in for most machining setups. Typical applications include part marking, serial number engraving, decorative detailing, and precision V-groove cutting where a consistent included angle and repeatable geometry are critical to the finished result.

Key Features

• 30-degree included angle with pointed tip for sharp, defined engraving lines
• Solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance on metal substrates
• Single-flute geometry promotes chip clearance in narrow engraving paths
• Uncoated finish suitable for direct use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC and manual spindle rotation
• 1/4-inch shank fits widely available collets and tool holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Fits standard 1/4-inch collet tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with CNC or manual milling equipment. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before inserting or removing the cutter from the collet. Confirm collet runout is within acceptable tolerance before cutting, as excessive runout will degrade engraved feature quality. Follow all machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety protocols during setup and operation.
