Harvey Tool 30120-C3 Engraving Cutter 90 Degree 3/16 in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 30120-C3 is a single-flute, solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precision engraving and marking on ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. The cutter features a 90-degree included angle with a pointed tip geometry, making it well-suited for clean V-groove cuts, part marking, and fine detail work. The AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating improves heat resistance and tool life during cutting operations. With a 3/16 inch cutter diameter and 0.093 inch length of cut, this tool is built for controlled, shallow engraving passes on CNC machining centers and engraving machines.

This cutter is used in shop environments where ferrous metals such as steel and stainless, as well as non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, require engraved identification, decorative marking, or part numbering. It is suited for production CNC work and prototype machining alike. The right-hand cutting direction and 3/16 inch shank make it compatible with standard collet systems on vertical machining centers and dedicated engraving spindles. The 2 inch overall length provides adequate reach for most fixturing setups without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle with pointed tip for clean V-groove engraving
• AlTiN coating for improved thermal resistance and extended tool life on hard metals
• Single-flute design promotes chip clearance in shallow engraving passes
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 3/16 inch shank fits common collet sizes on vertical mills and engraving machines

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Fits standard collet systems accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by machinists and CNC operators using a compatible collet or tool holder rated for the 3/16 inch shank diameter. Verify spindle runout before seating the tool, as excessive runout will degrade engraving quality and shorten tool life. Set cutting depth carefully — the 0.093 inch length of cut defines the maximum effective cutting depth. Always follow machine manufacturer guidelines and workplace safety procedures when changing or setting tooling.
