Value Collection 317-0263 Convex Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0263 is a convex radius cutter designed for milling convex profiles and rounded grooves on metal workpieces. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this form-relieved cutter holds its profile geometry through multiple resharpenings, making it a reliable tool for production and maintenance machining. It features a 13/64-inch radius, a 2-3/4-inch outer diameter, and 12 teeth, providing a balance of chip clearance and surface finish on compatible arbor-type milling setups. The bright finish reduces friction during cutting. This cutter is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians on horizontal or universal milling machines.

This convex radius cutter is suited for horizontal milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals in job shop, production, and maintenance environments. It mounts via a standard arbor connection, making it compatible with conventional arbor-driven milling machine setups. Typical applications include cutting concave mating profiles, form milling, and producing rounded channels or slots where a precise radius geometry is required. The 12-tooth configuration is appropriate for moderate feed rates and general-purpose form milling work.

Key Features

• 13/64-inch convex radius for precise concave profile mating cuts
• 2-3/4-inch outer diameter suits standard arbor milling setups
• 12 teeth provide adequate chip clearance and consistent finish
• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated during milling
• Form-relieved relief preserves cutting profile through resharpening
• Bright finish reduces friction and cutting resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an arbor-mount form cutter for use on standard horizontal and universal milling machines accepting arbor-driven cutters of 2-3/4-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. The milling machine spindle must be fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the cutter firmly on the arbor with the appropriate spacers, collars, and arbor nut, and verify runout before beginning a cut. Do not exceed the cutter's rated speed range for the material being machined.
