Harvey Tool 931012 Dovetail Cutter 90 Deg 3/16 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 931012 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and undercut profiles in precision machining applications. Built with a 90-degree included angle and a 3/16-inch cutter diameter, this tool produces clean, tight-tolerance dovetail features in a single pass. The 2-flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in a compact cutting envelope. With a 3/16-inch shank diameter and a 2-inch overall length, the 931012 fits standard collet toolholders used on CNC mills and manual knee mills. The bright uncoated finish is suited for use in non-ferrous metals and plastics where coating buildup or chemical reaction is a concern.

This dovetail cutter is used in job shops, tool rooms, and production machining environments where dovetail slots, locking features, and undercut grooves are required. Typical applications include fixture plates, sliding ways, mechanical interlocks, and retention features machined into aluminum, brass, plastics, and other machinable materials. The small cutter diameter and narrow 3/64-inch cut width make this tool appropriate for fine-detail work where larger dovetail cutters would not clear the workpiece geometry.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• 3/16-inch cutter diameter with 3/64-inch cutting width for fine-detail undercut work
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in confined cutting zones
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with non-ferrous metals and plastics
• 0.010-inch corner radius for controlled edge geometry at the dovetail root

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for CNC machining centers and manual mills accepting a 3/16-inch round shank collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or CNC operator using a collet chuck or end mill holder sized to the 3/16-inch shank diameter. Confirm runout is within acceptable tolerance before engaging the cut, as dovetail cutter geometry amplifies the effect of spindle or holder runout on finished slot quality. Power down the spindle and machine before changing tooling. Follow shop safety protocols and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds and feeds appropriate to the workpiece material.
