Keo 929-000-072 Dovetail Cutter 60 Degree Carbide

Product Description

The KEO 929-000-072 is a carbide-tipped dovetail cutter designed for machining dovetail slots and angular undercuts in metal and rigid workpiece materials. Built with a 60-degree included angle, this cutter produces accurate dovetail profiles at a 2-inch cut diameter and a 3/4-inch cutting width. The 1-inch shank diameter fits standard Weldon-style tool holders, and the bright uncoated carbide tips provide solid performance across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals running manual or CNC milling equipment will find this cutter suited for precision fixture work, slide fitting, and T-slot preparation.

This dovetail cutter is used in milling operations requiring angular relief cuts or interlocking slide geometry. Typical applications include machining dovetail ways, fixture plates, and precision jig components on vertical or horizontal milling machines. The 6-tooth configuration supports a balance of feed rate and surface finish appropriate for moderate-duty milling passes. The Weldon flat on the shank ensures positive tool retention in set-screw style end mill holders during cutting operations.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch bore Weldon-style end mill holders on vertical and horizontal milling machines, including manual knee mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician into a compatible Weldon-flat end mill holder torqued per the holder manufacturer specifications. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before changing tooling. Inspect the cutter and holder for runout before beginning a cut, and use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant as required by the workpiece material.
