Harvey Tool 27008-C3 Dovetail Cutter 10 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 27008-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for precision undercutting and dovetail slot milling in metalworking applications. With a 10-degree included angle and a 0.125-inch cutter diameter, this tool generates clean, tight dovetail profiles in a single pass. The 0.187-inch cutting width and 2-flute geometry support efficient chip evacuation in confined pockets. A Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. The 0.125-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems used in CNC machining centers and manual mills. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this cutter for locking slots, T-slots, and angular undercuts.

This dovetail cutter is suited for small-scale precision work in ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminum, and engineered plastics where a tight 10-degree dovetail profile is required. The compact 1/8-inch cutter diameter makes it well matched for miniature component machining, medical device manufacturing, and mold work where access is restricted and dimensional accuracy is critical. The TiAlN finish supports dry and semi-dry cutting strategies commonly used in production environments.

Key Features

• 10-degree included angle produces precise dovetail and undercut profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and dimensional stability
• TiAlN coating enhances wear resistance and thermal stability in ferrous materials
• 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation in narrow, confined cuts
• 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutter edge
• 1/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard ER and precision collet systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with standard 1/8-inch collet or end mill holders; confirm spindle speed and feed rate compatibility with the workpiece material before use.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with rotating cutting tool safety. Secure the shank fully within the collet to the recommended grip depth before tightening. Verify runout with a dial indicator after tool seating. Power down the spindle completely and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the cutter.
