Harvey Tool 824716-C3 Engraving Cutter 60 Degree Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 824716-C3 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precision marking, lettering, and engraving operations on metallic workpieces. It features a 60-degree included angle with a tipped-off point geometry and a 0.01-inch tip diameter, making it well suited for fine-detail work where sharp, consistent lines are required. The cutter carries an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating that improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding cutting environments. With a 1/4-inch cutter diameter, a 1/4-inch shank, and a single right-hand flute, this tool is installed and operated by machinists and CNC tooling technicians working on engraving and marking applications.

This cutter is intended for use on ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Its 0.208-inch length of cut and 2.5-inch overall length make it a compact, rigid option for CNC machining centers and manual engraving setups where tool deflection must be minimized. The AlTiN finish provides thermal protection particularly useful when cutting harder ferrous materials at elevated spindle speeds.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle with tipped-off point for controlled, defined engraving geometry
• 0.01-inch tip diameter enables fine-detail line work and tight character engraving
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life on ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability during cutting
• Single right-hand flute design promotes chip evacuation in engraving passes
• 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard collet systems on CNC and manual machines

Compatibility

Designed for use on ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. Compatible with standard 1/4-inch collet systems on CNC machining centers and engraving machines that accept right-hand cutting tools.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC tooling technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before inserting or removing the cutter from the collet. Ensure the collet and holder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank to maintain runout tolerances. Feed rates and spindle speeds should be set according to the workpiece material and machine capability — do not force the cutter at depths of cut beyond what the 0.208-inch length of cut supports.
