Keo 929-000-009 Dovetail Cutter 60 Deg Hss 1/2 in

Product Description

The KEO 929-000-009 is a 60-degree dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and angular undercuts in metalworking applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 0.500-inch cutter diameter and a 7/32-inch (0.2188-inch) cutting width. The 3/8-inch shank includes a Weldon flat for secure toolholder engagement and reduced slippage under load. With 8 teeth and right-hand cutting direction, this cutter delivers clean, consistent dovetail geometry on manual mills and CNC machining centers alike. It is suited for machinists and toolmakers working in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

This cutter is used in job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments where dovetail ways, slides, or interlocking slot features are required. The 60-degree included angle is a standard dovetail geometry found in fixture work, machine tool component manufacturing, and general precision machining. The compact shank length of 1-11/16 inches makes it compatible with standard end mill holders and collet chucks commonly found on vertical milling machines.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• 0.500-inch cutter diameter with 0.2188-inch cutting width
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose metal cutting
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• Weldon flat on 3/8-inch shank for positive toolholder retention
• 8-tooth design for smooth chip load distribution
• Right-hand cutting direction for conventional milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8-inch end mill holders, collet chucks, or Weldon-style toolholders on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling cutter setup and toolholder torque procedures. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the cutter. Seat the Weldon flat against the toolholder setscrew to prevent axial pull-out during cutting. Verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning the first cut.
