Value Collection 33042 Cobalt T-slot Cutter 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33042 is a cobalt T-slot cutter designed for milling T-slots in machine tables, fixtures, and workholding components. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers strong wear resistance and heat tolerance during heavy interrupted cuts. The cutter measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter with a 31/64-inch cutting width, a 1-inch shank diameter, and a 3-15/16-inch overall length. The straight tooth configuration and bright uncoated finish make it a reliable choice for general-purpose T-slot work in job shops and maintenance environments. It is sized for a 5/8-inch bolt slot.

This T-slot cutter is suited for use on vertical milling machines and machining centers in both production and toolroom settings. It is commonly used when cutting standardized T-slots for clamps, bolts, and fixture hardware. The 21/32-inch neck diameter and 1-9/64-inch neck length provide clearance for slot depth without excessive overhang. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials will find this cutter appropriate for standard T-slot profiles.

Installation Notes

Install this cutter in a rigid end mill holder or collet chuck rated for the 1-inch shank diameter before mounting in the spindle. Secure all tool holding components to the appropriate torque specification per your machine tool manufacturer guidelines. Power down and lock out the machine before changing cutters. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.
