Harvey Tool 29612-C3 Engraving Cutter 60 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 29612-C3 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precise engraving and marking operations on a wide range of metallic workpieces. Built with a pointed tip geometry and a 60-degree included angle, it cuts clean, sharp V-groove profiles in a single pass. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With a 3/16-inch cutter diameter, a 0.158-inch length of cut, and a right-hand cutting direction, this cutter suits high-precision CNC engraving work where dimensional accuracy and surface finish are critical. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this geometry for part marking, decorative engraving, and chamfering of fine features.

This cutter is intended for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making it suitable for a broad range of shop environments including aerospace, mold making, and general machining. It fits standard 3/16-inch collets and tool holders, allowing direct installation on CNC machining centers and engraving machines without adapters. The 2-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard fixturing setups while keeping tool deflection minimal at the tip.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle pointed tip for sharp, accurate V-groove engraving
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in metal cutting applications
• AlTiN coating for improved thermal resistance and extended tool life in ferrous materials
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 2-flute design balances chip evacuation with edge strength at small diameters
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits common collet sizes without adapters

Compatibility

Rated for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Fits any CNC machining center or engraving system accepting a 3/16-inch straight shank collet or tool holder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Power down the spindle and confirm the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet to the recommended gauge-line depth and torque the collet nut to the machine manufacturer's specification. Inspect the cutting tip for chips or coating damage before each use, as carbide tips at this diameter are brittle and sensitive to side-loading or improper fixturing.
