Value Collection 317-0495 Convex Radius Cutter Hss 12T

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0495 is a convex radius cutter designed for milling and form-cutting operations on metalworking machinery. Built from high speed steel (HSS), this cutter features a form-relieved relief geometry and a bright finish that supports chip flow during cutting passes. With a 3/8 inch radius profile, a 3-3/4 inch outer diameter, and 12 teeth, it delivers consistent radius forms on workpiece edges and slots. The arbor-mount connection interfaces with standard milling arbors used on horizontal and universal milling machines. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of cutter for profile and form work where repeatable radius accuracy is required.

This convex radius cutter is suited for use in job shops, maintenance machining environments, and production settings where form-relieved HSS cutters are preferred over carbide inserts for lower-volume or interrupted-cut applications. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous metal stock. The arbor-mount configuration is compatible with standard milling machine arbors used in horizontal and universal knee-mill setups. No specific OEM or machine-brand compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this part.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch convex radius profile for consistent form milling on edges and slots
• 3-3/4 inch outer diameter provides clearance for standard horizontal milling setups
• 12-tooth configuration balances chip load and surface finish on typical metal stock
• High speed steel construction supports re-sharpening and use on a range of metals
• Form-relieved relief geometry maintains correct profile through multiple sharpenings
• Bright finish reduces surface friction during cutting passes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style form cutter for use with standard milling arbors on horizontal and universal milling machines. No specific machine model compatibility is stated in the manufacturer data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom professional familiar with milling machine setup and arbor tooling. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Ensure the arbor diameter, spacers, and arbor support are properly fitted before securing the draw bar. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and verify cutter rotation direction before engaging the feed.
