Harvey Tool 884616 Dovetail Cutter 90 Degree 1/4 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 884616 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining angled undercut features in a wide range of workpiece materials. Built with a 90-degree included angle and a 1/4-inch cutter diameter, this tool produces precise dovetail slots and locking grooves used in fixturing, slide assemblies, and mechanical joints. The 0.068-inch cutting width keeps material removal controlled and the 2-tooth geometry helps manage chip evacuation in tight-tolerance cuts. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this cutter in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines where accurate undercut profiles are required.

This dovetail cutter is suited for light-duty undercut operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites. The bright uncoated finish makes it appropriate for general-purpose applications where coating is not required or where direct tool inspection is preferred. With a 1/4-inch shank diameter and a 2-inch overall length, it fits standard collet and end mill holders commonly found in vertical machining centers and CNC routers used in production and job-shop environments.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 1/4-inch cutter diameter and 0.068-inch cutting width for precision undercut geometry
• 2-tooth design aids chip clearance in shallow undercut passes
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose milling applications
• 1/4-inch shank diameter compatible with standard collet and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use dovetail cutter for CNC and manual milling setups that accept a 1/4-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting the cutter. Avoid side-loading beyond the rated cut width to prevent tool deflection or breakage.
