Value Collection 317-0172 Convex Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0172 is a convex radius cutter ground from high speed steel and designed for milling convex profiles on a manual or CNC milling machine. The cutter produces a 1/4 inch radius profile and measures 2-1/2 inches in diameter with a 1 inch arbor hole for standard arbor mounting. Twelve evenly spaced teeth deliver a smooth finish on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The form relieved relief style maintains the cutter profile through repeated sharpenings, extending tool life. A bright finish is applied to the cutting body. This tool is used by machinists and tool-and-die professionals in production and maintenance machining environments.

The 317-0172 convex radius cutter is suited for milling concave grooves, rounding internal edges, and producing radius forms on workpiece surfaces. With a cutting width of 0.25 inches and a 1 inch arbor hole, it mounts directly to standard horizontal or universal milling machine arbors. The tool handles general-purpose form milling on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials commonly encountered in job shop and maintenance machining work.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch convex radius profile for milling concave forms on workpiece surfaces
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Form relieved relief style preserves cutter profile geometry through resharpening
• 12 teeth for smooth surface finish and consistent chip load per tooth
• 1 inch arbor hole for direct mounting on standard milling machine arbors
• Bright finish on cutter body

Compatibility

Designed as a standard arbor-mount convex radius cutter compatible with horizontal and universal milling machines equipped with a 1 inch arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on a horizontal or universal milling machine. Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Ensure the arbor nut is properly torqued and the cutter is seated squarely against the arbor spacers before beginning a cut. Use appropriate eye protection and guarding per shop safety standards during operation.
