Harvey Tool 931016-C3 Dovetail Cutter 90 Deg Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 931016-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for milling undercut dovetail slots and angled features in a wide range of workpiece materials. Built with a 90-degree included angle and a 1/4 inch cutter diameter, this tool cuts a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) width in a single pass. The 2-tooth geometry keeps chip load manageable at the small diameter, and the Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating improves heat resistance and tool life during dry or light-lubrication cutting. The 1/4 inch shank fits standard collet chucks on CNC machining centers and manual mills.

This cutter is suited for light-duty dovetail slot work in aluminum, steel, stainless, and engineering plastics where a 90-degree undercut profile is required. Typical applications include T-slot prep, locking-feature machining, and part fixturing geometry on CNC mills. The small 1/16 inch cut width makes it well suited for fine detail dovetails in tight-tolerance workpieces. Machinists working on prototype runs and production fixturing will find the geometry and coating combination practical for both materials.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard dovetail undercut profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance at small diameters
• TiAlN coating for improved heat resistance and extended tool life
• 2-flute design optimized for chip clearance at 1/4 inch cutter diameter
• 0.010 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at the cutting edge
• 1/4 inch shank for compatibility with standard ER and end mill collet systems

Compatibility

Designed for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills equipped with a standard 1/4 inch collet or end mill holder. No specific machine model compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with CNC or manual milling practices. Secure the 1/4 inch shank fully in a collet or end mill holder with adequate clamping force before spindle operation. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are within the manufacturer-recommended parameters for the cutter diameter and workpiece material before engaging the cut. Never exceed the maximum depth of cut for the tool geometry, and inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use.
