Harvey Tool 45962 Concave Radius Cutter 1/16 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 45962 is a solid carbide concave radius cutter designed for precision profile milling operations. Built with a 1/16-inch radius and a 3/8-inch cut diameter, this cutter produces accurate concave contours in a single pass. The form-relieved relief style maintains consistent edge geometry throughout the tool life. With 4 teeth and an uncoated carbide construction, it suits high-precision work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where tight tolerances are required. The 3/8-inch shank diameter provides secure tool-holder engagement. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this cutter for profile work, slotting, and specialty form operations on CNC mills and manual knee mills.

This concave radius cutter is suited for shops requiring accurate radius profiles in die, mold, and tooling applications. The 3/8-inch cut width and 3/8-inch shank make it compatible with standard ER and end mill tool holders commonly found in machining centers. Its compact overall length of 2-1/2 inches keeps it rigid in short-reach setups, reducing deflection during profile cuts. Typical users include tool and die makers, mold machinists, and precision job-shop operators working on contoured part features or matching existing radius profiles.

Key Features

• 1/16-inch concave radius for precise contour and profile milling
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and ferrous materials
• Form-relieved relief style maintains consistent cutting edge geometry
• 4-tooth design balances chip evacuation with surface finish quality
• 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style concave radius profile cutter for use in standard 3/8-inch shank tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Install in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the tool-holder specification before running. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting this cutter. Inspect the carbide edges for chips or wear before each use, as solid carbide tools are brittle and should not be dropped or clamped directly on the fluted portion. A licensed machinist or qualified toolroom technician should set feeds, speeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
