Micro 100 DT-187-030-010 Dovetail Cutter 30 Deg Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 DT-187-030-010 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for precision dovetail slot milling in metalworking and machining applications. It features a 30-degree included angle and a 0.1875-inch (3/16 inch) cutter diameter, with a cutting width of 0.127 inches. The 2-flute geometry provides clean chip evacuation in tight dovetail profiles. At 2 inches overall length and a matching 3/16-inch shank diameter, this cutter fits standard collet tooling setups. The uncoated solid carbide construction offers rigidity and wear resistance suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and toolroom operators rely on this style of cutter for accurate dovetail features in fixtures, slides, and precision components.

This dovetail cutter is suited for use on CNC machining centers and manual mills where dovetail slots or undercuts are required. Typical applications include machining dovetail ways, fixture plates, T-slot alternatives, and interlocking slide features in precision parts. The compact 3/16-inch diameter makes it appropriate for small-scale dovetail profiles where larger cutters cannot reach. It is commonly used by machinists working in job shops, tool and die, and production environments handling aluminum, steel, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• 30-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• 0.1875-inch (3/16 inch) cutter diameter for small-profile dovetail cuts
• 0.127-inch cutting width provides defined undercut depth
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and extended tool life
• Uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of machinable materials
• 2-flute design supports chip clearance in confined dovetail profiles

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid carbide dovetail cutter compatible with standard 3/16-inch collet holders and tooling systems used on CNC and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling cutter setup and speeds-and-feeds selection. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the cutter from the collet. Verify collet size matches the 3/16-inch shank diameter before tightening. Use appropriate cutting speeds and feed rates for the workpiece material to avoid premature tool wear or breakage on this small-diameter cutter.
