Harvey Tool 30030 Engraving Cutter 60 Degree 1/4 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 30030 is a solid carbide pointed engraving cutter designed for precision engraving and marking operations on metallic workpieces. Built with a 60-degree included angle and a 1/4-inch cutter diameter, this single-flute tool produces clean, consistent V-shaped grooves and chamfered lettering with tight tolerances. The uncoated solid carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for demanding metal-cutting applications. With a 2-1/2-inch overall length and a 0.216-inch length of cut, it fits standard CNC router and engraving machine spindles. Right-hand cutting geometry supports conventional CNC programming workflows.

This cutter is suited for engraving, marking, and V-groove work on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum, brass, steel, and similar alloys. It performs well in production engraving setups, part marking, and decorative metalwork where consistent depth and angle control are critical. The 1/4-inch shank fits directly into standard collets used on CNC routers, engraving machines, and vertical machining centers without adapters in most configurations.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard V-groove and engraving profiles
• Solid carbide substrate for hardness and thermal stability in metal cutting
• Single-flute design reduces chip recutting and improves evacuation in shallow engraving passes
• Uncoated finish suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with conventional CNC spindle rotation
• 1/4-inch shank fits common collet sizes on routers and machining centers

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Fits machines accepting a 1/4-inch shank collet, including CNC routers and engraving machines configured for standard tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator familiar with rotating cutting tools. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine power is isolated before inserting or removing the cutter from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 1/4-inch shank before tightening. Follow machine manufacturer feed rate and speed guidelines for carbide tooling on the specific workpiece material.
