Harvey Tool 925316-C3 Dovetail Cutter 60 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 925316-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining angled undercut features in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. Built with a 60-degree included angle and a 0.250-inch cutter diameter, this tool produces clean dovetail slots used in fixturing, slide channels, and interlocking part profiles. The Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in higher-speed cutting applications. With a 2-tooth geometry and a 0.125-inch cutting width, it is suited for precise, low-chip-load passes in tight geometry work. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals running CNC mills or manual knee mills are the primary users.

This dovetail cutter is used in job shops, production machining environments, and toolroom applications where accurate angled slots are required. The 1/4-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found on vertical machining centers and milling machines. Its compact 2.000-inch overall length suits close-tolerance work where minimizing tool stick-out is important for rigidity and surface finish quality.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating for improved thermal resistance in high-speed cuts
• 2-tooth design optimized for precise, controlled material removal
• 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutter edge
• 1/4-inch shank fits common collet and end mill holder systems

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-install dovetail cutter for CNC vertical machining centers and manual milling machines accepting a 1/4-inch shank diameter toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully into the collet or end mill holder to the recommended minimum insertion depth before tightening to prevent tool pullout. Verify spindle runout with an indicator before cutting, as excess runout accelerates edge wear on a 2-flute carbide tool. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or inspecting the cutter.
