Value Collection 317-0123 Convex Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0123 is a convex radius cutter ground from high speed steel (HSS) and designed for milling concave profiles and radii on metal workpieces. With a 3/16 inch radius and a 2 inch cutter diameter, it produces a consistent, form-relieved profile in a single pass. The bright finish reduces friction and helps extend tool life in general-purpose milling applications. Twelve evenly spaced teeth provide a balance between chip clearance and surface finish quality. This cutter mounts via standard arbor connection and is installed by machinists and tool-and-die professionals on horizontal or universal milling machines.

This convex radius cutter is suited for job shops, production machining environments, and toolroom work where precise concave radius profiles are required on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. It is a form-relieved style, meaning the cutting geometry is maintained when the tool is resharpened by grinding only the face. Typical applications include producing mating profiles for convex workpiece features, generating radius grooves, and forming radius blends on mechanical components.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch radius produces a precise 0.1875 inch concave profile
• 2 inch cutter diameter for standard arbor-mount horizontal milling setups
• 12-tooth configuration balances chip evacuation and finish quality
• High speed steel construction supports general-purpose milling across a range of metals
• Form-relieved relief geometry allows resharpening by face grinding only
• Bright finish reduces built-up edge and friction during cutting

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mount convex radius cutter compatible with horizontal and universal milling machines equipped with a standard milling arbor of the appropriate bore size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Secure the arbor draw bar to the specified torque for your machine make and model per the machine manufacturer guidelines, not values specific to this cutter. Use appropriate arbor spacers to position the cutter correctly relative to the workpiece, and verify cutter runout before beginning the cut.
