Value Collection 316-0603 Concave Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316-0603 is a concave radius cutter designed for milling precise concave profiles on metal workpieces. Built from high speed steel with an oxide finish, this arbor-mounted form-relieved cutter delivers consistent geometry across its 10 teeth. It produces a 15/32 inch radius concave profile with a 3-1/2 inch cut diameter and a 15/16 inch cutting width. The form-relieved tooth design maintains accurate profile geometry even after resharpening, making it suitable for production environments where repeatable form accuracy is required. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this cutter on horizontal milling machines or arbor setups.

This cutter is used in metalworking shops, toolrooms, and production machining environments where concave radius profiles must be milled into steel, cast iron, or similar metals. It mounts on a 1 inch arbor, fitting standard horizontal milling machine arbors commonly found in job shops and manufacturing facilities. Typical applications include forming circular grooves, concave seats, and radius relief cuts in workpiece blanks. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance during storage and initial use.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Form-relieved tooth profile maintains accurate radius geometry through resharpening
• 15/32 inch concave radius for consistent profile milling
• 10 teeth for balanced chip load and surface finish
• Oxide finish provides light corrosion protection
• 1 inch arbor hole fits standard horizontal milling machine arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style form cutter for use on standard horizontal milling machines equipped with a 1 inch arbor. Suitable for toolroom and production milling of concave radius profiles in metalworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with horizontal milling machine setup. Secure the cutter firmly on the arbor with appropriate spacers and the arbor nut torqued per machine manufacturer guidelines before starting the spindle. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Verify arbor alignment and cutter runout before engaging the workpiece to avoid profile error or cutter damage.
