Harvey Tool 877308-C6 Engraving Cutter 60 Degree 1/8 in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 877308-C6 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precision engraving, marking, and v-groove cutting operations in hardened steel applications. Built with a 60-degree included angle and a tip radius point geometry, this cutter produces clean, accurate detail work in demanding materials. The AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. With a 0.098-inch length of cut and right-hand cutting direction, it delivers controlled material removal in tight engraving passes. It is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals running CNC milling centers or engraving machines.

This cutter is intended for use on hardened steel workpieces where surface detail and edge definition are critical. The 1/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets on CNC machining centers and dedicated engraving spindles. With a 1-1/2-inch overall length and compact cutting geometry, it is well suited to engraving serial numbers, part markings, logos, and decorative detail on hardened components. Professionals in tool-and-die, mold making, and precision part marking will find this cutter appropriate for both production and one-off engraving tasks.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for precise v-groove and engraving profiles
• Tip radius point geometry reduces stress concentration at the cutter tip
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in hardened steel
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and dimensional stability
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard CNC spindle rotation
• 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation in shallow engraving cuts

Compatibility

Designed for use on hardened steel. Fits 1/8-inch collets on CNC machining centers and engraving machines with standard right-hand spindle rotation.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the spindle fully stopped and the machine in a safe, locked-out state. Secure the 1/8-inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet and torque to the machine manufacturer's specification. Verify runout before beginning a cut, as excessive runout will accelerate tip wear and reduce engraving accuracy. Follow the machine builder's guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when working with carbide tooling in hardened materials.
