Harvey Tool 45962-C3 Concave Radius Cutter 1/16 in Radius

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 45962-C3 is a solid carbide concave radius cutter designed for milling precise concave profiles in a variety of workpiece materials. With a 1/16 inch radius, 3/8 inch cut diameter, and 3/8 inch cut width, this cutter produces accurate, repeatable concave forms in a single pass. The AlTiN finish improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With 4 teeth and a form relieved geometry, it is suited for machinists and toolmakers working on CNC machining centers and manual mills where profile accuracy is critical.

This concave radius cutter is used in precision machining applications requiring consistent concave form profiles on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders on both vertical and horizontal milling setups. Its compact overall length of 2-1/2 inches allows for stable tool projection in tight workholding setups. The form relieved relief style maintains the cutter profile through resharpening, extending tool longevity in production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN finish for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 1/16 inch radius for precise concave profile milling
• Form relieved geometry maintains profile accuracy through resharpening
• 4-tooth design for balanced chip load in profile cuts
• 3/8 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard collets and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a form profile cutter for use in standard 3/8 inch collets and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring concave radius profiling capability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard toolholding procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and locked out before inserting or removing the cutter from the collet or holder. Confirm the shank is fully seated to the recommended insertion depth and that the collet or holder is torqued per the toolholder manufacturer specification. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or wear before each use.
