Micro 100 DT-375-090-010 Dovetail Cutter 90 Degree Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 DT-375-090-010 is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining dovetail slots and angled undercuts in a range of workpiece materials. Built with a 90-degree included angle and a 0.375-inch cutter diameter, this tool produces precise dovetail profiles in a single pass when conditions are set correctly. The cutting width measures 0.127 inches, and the corner radius is 0.010 inches. With 3 teeth and an uncoated solid carbide body, it is suited for use in manual mills, CNC machining centers, and tool-and-die operations where tight geometry and edge retention are critical. Machinists and tool-room professionals are the primary end users.

This cutter is used in applications requiring angled undercut features such as T-slot fixtures, dovetail ways, and slide retention channels. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER and toolholder collets found on most vertical machining centers and manual knee mills. The uncoated carbide construction makes it compatible with a range of cutting fluids and dry-cut strategies depending on workpiece material. It is appropriate for both prototype and production runs where dovetail geometry consistency is required.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• 0.375-inch cutter diameter with 0.127-inch cutting width
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention
• 3-flute design balances chip evacuation and surface finish
• 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at slot root
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid across multiple workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style dovetail cutter compatible with standard 3/8-inch shank collet toolholders used on vertical machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling operations and toolholder setup. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before mounting or changing tooling. Confirm collet runout is within acceptable limits before engaging the cut, as runout directly affects surface finish and tool life. Always follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer recommendations for feeds, speeds, and depth of cut.
