Harvey Tool 995232-C3 Dovetail Cutter 60 Degree Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 995232-C3 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining dovetail slots and undercut profiles in a wide range of workpiece materials. Built to a 60-degree included angle, it cuts a 1/2-inch diameter with a 7/32-inch (0.218-inch) cutting width. The cutter features a Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life at elevated cutting speeds. With 3 teeth and a 1/2-inch shank diameter, it is suited for use in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. Overall length is 3 inches.

This dovetail cutter is intended for production and job-shop environments where accurate dovetail geometry is required. Typical applications include T-slot and dovetail slide features in metalworking, fixturing, and tooling plates. The 60-degree angle is a standard geometry for dovetail slides and mechanical joints in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as engineering plastics. Machinists and CNC programmers working on precision components will find this cutter suited to both roughing and finishing dovetail profiles in a single tool.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• TiAlN coating improves thermal resistance and extends tool life
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation with cut finish quality
• 1/2-inch shank compatible with standard ER and end mill collet systems
• Compact 3-inch overall length reduces overhang and deflection risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style dovetail cutter for use in CNC machining centers and manual mills equipped with a 1/2-inch collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist or CNC operator. Secure the 1/2-inch shank firmly in a collet or tool holder with appropriate pull-out torque before operation. Ensure spindle speed and feed rate are set per the cutter material and workpiece specifications before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the cutter if damage is observed.
