Value Collection 317-0164 Convex Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0164 is a convex radius cutter designed for milling concave profiles and radii on workpieces in machining and toolroom applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this cutter delivers consistent edge retention across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. It features a 1/8-inch radius, a 2-inch outer diameter, and 12 teeth, making it suitable for light to moderate stock removal where a precise convex profile geometry is required. The bright finish reduces friction at the cutting edge. It connects via a standard arbor mount and is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on horizontal milling machines.

This cutter is used in job shop, toolroom, and production machining environments where concave radius profiles must be generated on metal parts. The 1/8-inch radius and 12-tooth configuration suit applications requiring smooth surface finishes on arcs and fillets. It is a single-piece unit sold individually and is appropriate for both setup and production runs on horizontal arbor-driven milling machines.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch convex radius geometry for generating precise concave profiles on workpieces
• 2-inch outer diameter with 12 teeth for balanced chip load and surface finish
• High speed steel construction provides durability and edge retention on common metals
• Bright finish reduces cutting friction and aids chip evacuation
• Standard arbor connection for use on horizontal milling machine setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mount convex radius cutter compatible with horizontal milling machines accepting the appropriate arbor diameter for this cutter bore size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the cutter firmly on the arbor with the proper spacers, collars, and arbor nut using appropriate spanner wrenches, and verify runout before initiating a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for chips or damage before each use.
