Value Collection 316-0215 Concave Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-0215 is a concave radius cutter designed for milling concave profiles and radii into workpiece surfaces. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this form-relieved cutter delivers consistent profile accuracy across production and toolroom applications. It carries a 5/32 inch radius and a 2-3/4 inch cut diameter, with a 5/16 inch circle diameter and a 1 inch arbor hole for secure mounting on standard arbor-style milling setups. Ten teeth provide a balance of surface finish quality and chip clearance. The oxide coating helps reduce friction and extend tool life under moderate cutting conditions.

This cutter is suited for manual and CNC horizontal milling machines where concave radius forms are required on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Typical applications include producing rounded grooves, decorative profiles, and functional concave seats in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. It is appropriate for both job shop and production environments where consistent form geometry is a priority.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability in general milling applications
• Oxide finish reduces friction and improves tool longevity
• Form-relieved design maintains profile accuracy through resharpening
• 10-tooth configuration balances finish quality with chip evacuation
• 1 inch arbor hole fits standard horizontal milling arbors
• 5/32 inch radius produces precise concave profiles in a single pass

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal milling machines equipped with a 1 inch diameter arbor. Suitable for standard arbor-type milling setups used in toolroom and production machining environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with arbor milling setups. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the cutter firmly on the arbor with appropriate spacers and the arbor nut torqued according to the machine manufacturer specifications. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material before cutting.
