Keo 929-000-084 Dovetail Cutter 45 Degree Cobalt M42

Product Description

The KEO 929-000-084 is a 45-degree dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and angled undercuts in metalworking applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers strong heat and wear resistance in demanding cutting conditions. The cutter measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a cutting width of 0.1875 inches and features 8 teeth for consistent chip load and finish. The 0.375-inch shank includes a Weldon flat for positive, slip-resistant tool holding. This tool is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on manual or CNC milling machines.

This dovetail cutter is suited for producing 45-degree dovetail features in ferrous and non-ferrous metals on vertical milling machines and machining centers. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional spindle rotation. The bright, uncoated finish makes it appropriate for use with cutting fluids across a range of workpiece materials. The 1-15/16-inch shank length provides adequate reach for typical dovetail slot depths without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• 45-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat resistance and tool life
• 8-tooth configuration for balanced chip evacuation and surface finish
• Weldon flat on shank for secure, no-slip tool holder engagement
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction for standard milling spindle rotation

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard 3/8-inch end mill holders and Weldon-style tool holders used on manual and CNC vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully in a Weldon-style or equivalent end mill holder, aligning the set screw with the Weldon flat before torquing. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered off before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and verify spindle speed and feed rate against the cutter diameter and material specifications before initiating the cut.
