Value Collection 316-0132 Concave Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-0132 is a concave radius cutter designed for milling concave profiles and grooves on metal workpieces. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance in machine shop and toolroom applications. The cutter features a 3/32 inch radius, a 2-1/4 inch cut diameter, and a 3/16 inch circle diameter. With 10 form-relieved teeth and a 1 inch arbor hole, it mounts to standard horizontal milling arbors and holds its profile through repeated resharpening cycles without altering tooth geometry.

This concave radius cutter is suited for horizontal milling operations where a precise concave form must be cut into steel, aluminum, or similar machinable materials. It is commonly used in tool and die shops, maintenance machining, and general metalworking environments. The form-relieved tooth design maintains the cutter profile after resharpening, making it a practical choice for recurring production or repair work where consistent radius geometry is required.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for milling steel and non-ferrous metals
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Form-relieved teeth maintain cutter profile through resharpening
• 10 teeth for balanced material removal and surface finish
• 1 inch arbor hole fits standard horizontal milling machine arbors
• 3/32 inch radius cuts consistent concave profiles in a single pass

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal milling machines accepting a 1 inch arbor hole diameter cutter. Suitable for cutting concave radii in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other machinable metals.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool and die maker on a horizontal milling machine. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the cutter firmly on the arbor with the appropriate spacers and arbor nut before initiating any cut. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before operation.
