Value Collection 316-0322 Concave Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-0322 is a concave radius cutter designed for milling precise concave profiles on metal workpieces. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it delivers consistent performance in manual and CNC milling applications. The cutter features a 0.25 inch radius, a 2.25 inch cut diameter, and a 0.5 inch cut width, making it suited for moderate-depth profile work. Form relieved geometry maintains accurate tooth form across repeated sharpenings, extending usable tool life. A licensed machinist or tool-and-die technician typically handles installation and operation on a horizontal milling machine.

This concave radius cutter is used in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where consistent radius profiles are required on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 0.875 inch arbor mount allows it to seat on standard horizontal milling machine arbors. It is appropriate for profiling, form milling, and reproduction work where dimensional accuracy of the radius is critical. Its 10-tooth count balances chip clearance with surface finish quality at typical milling feed rates.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction provides heat resistance and edge retention during milling
• Oxide finish reduces friction and provides basic corrosion protection
• Form relieved relief style preserves tooth profile geometry through resharpening
• 10 teeth balance chip evacuation and finish quality
• 0.875 inch arbor mount fits standard horizontal milling arbors
• 0.25 inch radius with 2.25 inch cut diameter for concave profile milling

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal milling machines accepting a 0.875 inch arbor, commonly found in manual and CNC milling setups in job shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard milling machine lockout and tagout procedures before mounting or removing cutters. The cutter seats on a horizontal milling arbor and must be secured with the appropriate arbor spacers, collars, and nut to prevent movement during operation. Inspect the arbor and cutter bore for burrs or debris before mounting. Verify spindle speed and feed rate settings against published HSS cutter recommendations for the workpiece material before beginning the cut.
