Value Collection 317-0644 Convex Radius Cutter 12T Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317-0644 is a convex radius milling cutter designed for form milling operations on metalworking equipment. Built from high speed steel, this cutter features a 1/2 inch radius profile and a 3-1/4 inch outer diameter with 12 evenly spaced teeth. It mounts via a standard arbor connection with a 1 inch arbor hole diameter. The form-relieved relief style maintains accurate cutting geometry through repeated sharpenings, extending tool life while preserving profile accuracy. A bright finish indicates an uncoated, ground surface ready for immediate use. This cutter is well suited for producing consistent convex profiles in ferrous and non-ferrous materials on horizontal or universal milling machines.

This cutter is used in machine shops and manufacturing environments where repeatable convex-radius profiles are required. Typical applications include producing curved grooves, rounding shoulders, and cutting decorative or functional radii on steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. It fits horizontal milling machine arbors with a 1 inch bore and is installed by licensed machinists and toolmakers performing precision form milling work.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction provides strength and heat resistance for form milling in common metals
• 1/2 inch convex radius profile for accurate, repeatable curved surface generation
• Form-relieved relief style preserves cutting profile geometry during resharpening
• 12-tooth configuration balances chip load and surface finish quality
• Standard 1 inch arbor hole diameter for compatibility with common horizontal milling arbors
• Bright finish indicates a ground, uncoated cutting surface ready for use out of the box

Compatibility

Designed for use on horizontal and universal milling machines equipped with a 1 inch arbor. Confirm arbor diameter, arbor spacing collars, and machine spindle speed range before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Power down and lock out the milling machine before mounting or removing the cutter from the arbor. Secure the arbor nut to the manufacturer specification for the machine in use and confirm the cutter is properly supported by arbor support brackets to prevent deflection during cutting. Inspect the cutter for chips or cracks before each use and follow applicable shop safety standards.
