Harvey Tool 954945-C3 Engraving Cutter 90 Deg 1/4 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 954945-C3 is a solid carbide engraving cutter designed for precision engraving and marking operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built with a 90-degree included angle and a tip radius point geometry, this cutter delivers clean, consistent V-groove profiles in demanding material applications. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in high-speed cutting conditions. At 1/4 inch in diameter with a 1/4 inch shank, it fits standard collet tooling found on CNC machining centers and engraving machines. This tool is installed and operated by machinists, toolroom technicians, and CNC programmers working in precision metalworking environments.

This engraving cutter is suited for use on ferrous metals including steels and cast iron, as well as non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, brass, and copper. Its 2-flute configuration and right-hand cutting direction make it compatible with conventional CNC milling and engraving setups. Typical applications include part marking, logo engraving, serial number cutting, and decorative V-groove work on metal workpieces. The 0.1209-inch length of cut is appropriate for shallow engraving passes where depth control and surface quality are critical.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or CNC technician. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before loading or unloading tooling. Seat the shank fully and evenly in the collet to the recommended gauge length and torque the collet nut per the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Verify runout after tool installation before beginning any cutting operation.
