Harvey Tool 880908-C6 Engraving Cutter 90 Deg 1/8 in Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 880908-C6 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precision material removal in engraving and marking applications. It features a 90-degree included angle with a tipped-off point geometry and a 0.005 inch tip diameter, allowing for fine detail work on hardened steel surfaces. The cutter measures 1/8 inch in diameter with a matching 1/8 inch shank, a 0.06 inch length of cut, and a 1-1/2 inch overall length. The AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life when cutting abrasive or hard materials. Two right-hand flutes deliver chip evacuation and surface finish performance suited to demanding engraving operations.

This cutter is intended for use on hardened steel workpieces in machining environments where tight dimensional tolerances and fine surface detail are required. It is well suited for CNC machining centers and engraving machines performing part marking, die work, nameplate engraving, and decorative or functional surface cutting on hardened ferrous materials. The compact shank and overall length make it compatible with standard collet toolholding systems commonly found in production and job shop settings.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle with tipped-off point for controlled engraving depth and fine detail
• 0.005 inch tip diameter enables high-resolution line work and intricate patterns
• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in hardened steel applications
• AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in abrasive cutting conditions
• Right-hand, 2-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• 1/8 inch shank fits standard collet sizes for easy setup on CNC and manual engraving equipment

Compatibility

Designed for use on hardened steel. Compatible with standard 1/8 inch collet toolholding systems on CNC machining centers and engraving machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and tool changes should be performed by a qualified machinist with the machine powered down and motion axes at rest. Ensure the collet and toolholder are clean and free of debris before seating the shank to the correct insertion depth. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for runout tolerance and clamping torque when setting up small-diameter carbide tooling. Inspect the cutting edge before use, as solid carbide is brittle and susceptible to chipping if mishandled during handling or storage.
