Harvey Tool 56307 Dovetail Cutter 48 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 56307 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining undercut dovetail slots and angled profiles in precision metalworking and tooling applications. With a 48-degree included angle, a cut diameter of 0.084 inches, and a cutting width of 0.05 inches, this cutter is built for tight-tolerance work where geometry accuracy is critical. The 1/8-inch shank diameter suits compact toolholders and high-speed spindles. Two cutting teeth and an uncoated carbide substrate make this tool well suited for light-duty finishing passes in aluminum, brass, and soft steels. Machinists and tool and die technicians rely on this geometry for T-slot prep, fixture undercuts, and locking-groove features.

This dovetail cutter is used in CNC milling operations and manual mill setups where precise angular undercuts are required. It is a fit for prototype shops, production tooling departments, and die-making environments. The small cut diameter and narrow cutting width make it especially practical for miniature part features and close-quarters dovetail profiles where larger cutters cannot reach. No specific machine model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Key Features

• 48-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• 0.084-inch cut diameter for small-scale and miniature dovetail profiles
• 0.05-inch cutting width for tight, narrow undercut slots
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 0.015-inch corner radius for controlled edge blending at slot transitions
• Two-flute design suited for finishing passes and light material removal
• Uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide dovetail cutter suitable for use in standard 1/8-inch collet or toolholder systems on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Secure the 1/8-inch shank fully into a compatible collet or toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the spindle before tool changes. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling supplier guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut appropriate to the workpiece material.
