Value Collection 317-0255 Convex Radius Cutter Hss Arbor

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0255 is a convex radius cutter designed for milling convex radii and contoured profiles on metal workpieces. Machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright finish, this form-relieved cutter delivers consistent profile geometry across the full cutting edge. It features a 3/16 inch radius, a 2-3/4 inch outer diameter, and 12 teeth, making it well suited for medium-duty profile milling on manual mills and CNC horizontal arbor setups. The form-relieved relief geometry allows resharpening on the face without altering the profile, extending tool life in production environments. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users.

This convex radius cutter is used in general machining, toolroom work, and die-making applications where a precise convex profile must be generated on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The arbor connection style mounts to standard horizontal milling machine arbors. Typical applications include producing grooves, slots, and contoured forms on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. It is packaged individually and ordered in single-unit quantities, making it appropriate for low-volume toolroom use as well as higher-volume production environments where individual cutters are tracked by profile type.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch convex radius profile for consistent form milling
• High speed steel construction for durability on ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Form-relieved relief allows face resharpening without changing the cutter profile
• Bright finish reduces friction and aids chip evacuation
• 12 teeth provide a balance of surface finish quality and chip load capacity
• Arbor connection style for use on standard horizontal milling machine arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use convex radius cutter for standard horizontal milling machine arbor setups requiring a 3/16 inch radius profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist following standard horizontal milling arbor setup procedures. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Use appropriate arbor spacers and a drawbar to secure the cutter, and verify runout with a dial indicator before beginning a cut. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when handling and operating milling cutters.
