Harvey Tool 65132-C3 Dovetail Cutter 60 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 65132-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and undercut features in metalworking and machining applications. It carries a 60-degree included angle with a 0.500-inch cut diameter and a 0.250-inch cut width, making it well suited for precise angled slot work. The TiAlN (Titanium Aluminum Nitride) coating improves heat resistance and tool life at elevated cutting speeds. With 3 teeth and a 0.005-inch corner radius, it delivers clean, controlled cuts. This cutter is installed and operated by machinists and CNC programmers working on milling machines or machining centers.

This dovetail cutter is used in both manual and CNC milling operations where angled undercut features are required. Typical applications include dovetail slide features, fixture machining, and interlocking joint profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 1/2-inch shank diameter is a standard size compatible with common collet and end mill holder systems. At 3.0 inches overall length, it provides adequate reach for most dovetail milling setups without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation and surface finish quality
• 0.005-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutter edge
• 1/2-inch shank fits standard collet and toolholder systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling machines and CNC machining centers with 1/2-inch collet or end mill holder tooling. Suitable for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous materials in applications requiring a 60-degree dovetail profile.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with rotating cutting tool setups. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the tool is securely seated in a properly sized collet or toolholder before tightening. Verify runout with an indicator after setup to avoid premature edge wear. Follow the tool manufacturer and machine builder guidelines for recommended speeds and feeds for solid carbide cutters with TiAlN coating.
