Harvey Tool 25130-C3 Engraving Cutter 40 Deg 1/4 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 25130-C3 is a single-flute, pointed engraving cutter ground from solid carbide and coated with AlTiN for extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. The cutter carries a 40-degree included angle and a 1/4-inch cutter diameter, making it well suited for precise engraving and marking work on metal workpieces. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and hardness retention at elevated cutting temperatures, supporting higher surface footage on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Right-hand cutting geometry and a short 0.343-inch length of cut keep the cutter rigid and minimize deflection at the tip.

This engraving cutter is designed for use on ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals, covering a broad range of production and job-shop applications including part marking, logo engraving, and decorative detail work on metal stock. The 1/4-inch shank fits standard collet toolholding systems commonly found on CNC machining centers and engraving machines, making this an accessible drop-in option for shops already running 1/4-inch tooling.

Key Features

• 40-degree included angle pointed tip for fine engraving detail on metal
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating enhances heat resistance and extends tool life on ferrous materials
• Single-flute design promotes chip clearance in shallow engraving passes
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 1/4-inch shank fits common collet sizes without adapters

Compatibility

Rated for use on ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Designed for CNC machining centers and engraving machines accepting a 1/4-inch shank collet.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by machinists or CNC technicians familiar with toolholding procedures and cutting parameters. Power down and de-energize the spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Seat the shank fully in the collet and torque the collet nut to the toolholder manufacturer specification. Verify runout at the cutter tip before beginning production cuts to avoid premature tip wear or breakage.
