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

Product Description

The MICRO 100 DT-375-090-010X is a solid carbide dovetail cutter designed for machining dovetail slots and undercut features on CNC mills and manual milling machines. It runs a 90-degree included angle with a 0.375-inch cut diameter and a 0.127-inch cutting width, making it suited for tight-tolerance dovetail profiles in metal and composite workpieces. The 3-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation while maintaining a stable cut. A Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN) coating extends tool life in ferrous and hardened materials by reducing heat buildup at the cutting edge.

This cutter is used in job shops, production machining cells, and toolroom applications where precision dovetail slots are required. Typical applications include fixture components, slide ways, T-slot profiles, and mechanical interlock features. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard ER collet chucks and milling holders commonly found in both manual Bridgeport-style mills and CNC machining centers. It is selected by machinists and tool-and-die technicians working in general metalworking, aerospace, and mold-and-die environments.

Key Features

• 90-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot profiles
• 0.375-inch cut diameter with 0.127-inch cutting width for precise undercut geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• TiAlN coating reduces thermal wear and extends tool life in hardened and abrasive materials
• 3-flute design balances chip clearance and cutting stability
• 0.010-inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at slot corners

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3/8-inch collet chucks and end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines requiring a 90-degree dovetail cutter profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or CNC operators. Secure the 3/8-inch shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque the retention mechanism per the toolholder manufacturer's guidelines. Verify runout at the shank before beginning a cut. Always confirm spindle is fully stopped and machine is in a safe state before changing or adjusting tooling.
