Harvey Tool 926232-C3 Dovetail Cutter 50 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 926232-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and undercut profiles in a wide range of workpiece materials. It features a 50-degree included angle, a 0.500-inch cutting diameter, and a 0.312-inch cutting width. The 3-flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation and a consistent finish in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life under demanding cutting conditions. The 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge. This cutter is used by machinists and toolmakers in CNC machining centers and manual milling applications.

This dovetail cutter is suited for creating dovetail slots, T-slot undercuts, and angled groove features in precision machining operations. It performs well in production environments where consistent geometry and repeatable results are required. The 1/2-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard collet chucks and end mill holders commonly found in both vertical and horizontal milling setups. It is appropriate for job shops, aerospace component machining, mold and die work, and general metalworking applications where dovetail features are specified on engineering drawings.

Key Features

• 50-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating for elevated heat resistance and extended tool life
• 3-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation and surface finish quality
• 0.010-inch corner radius reduces cutting edge stress concentration
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard collet chucks and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines equipped with 1/2-inch collet chucks or end mill holders capable of accommodating a 3-inch overall length tool.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and serviced by machinists and toolroom personnel. Secure the 1/2-inch shank in a properly sized, clean collet or end mill holder and torque to the machine tool manufacturer's specification. Verify tool runout before beginning the cut, as excess runout accelerates wear on dovetail cutters disproportionately. Never exceed the spindle speed and feed rate parameters established for the workpiece material and cutter diameter.
