Value Collection 5-693-015 Concave Radius Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5-693-015 is a concave radius cutter designed for milling precise concave profiles and grooves in metalwork. Built from high speed steel with an uncoated finish, this cutter handles demanding material removal on manual and CNC milling machines. It features a 3/32 inch radius, a 3/4 inch cutting diameter, and a 3/16 inch circle diameter. The 0.542 inch shank with a Weldon flat provides secure, slip-resistant tool holding in compatible milling chucks. With 6 teeth and a 3/4 inch cutting width, it delivers clean, repeatable cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers and operators of this cutter.

This concave radius cutter is suited for job shop, maintenance, and production milling environments where accurate radius profiles are required. Typical applications include slotting, profiling, and form milling operations on steel, aluminum, and similar structural metals. The 3 inch overall length provides adequate reach for standard horizontal and vertical milling setups. The Weldon flat shank accommodates standard side-lock arbors and milling holders commonly found in trade and industrial machine shops.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 3/32 inch radius with 3/4 inch cutting diameter for precise concave profile milling
• Weldon flat on 0.542 inch shank prevents rotation under cutting load
• 6-tooth geometry balances chip clearance with surface finish quality
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on standard milling operations
• 3 inch overall length fits standard milling machine arbor setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard side-lock milling holders and Weldon-style arbors accepting a 0.542 inch shank diameter. Suitable for horizontal and vertical milling machine setups in job shop and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling cutter setup and machine operation. Ensure the milling machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Seat the Weldon flat firmly against the set screw in the holder to prevent axial or rotational movement during cutting. Follow applicable machine tool safety standards and shop procedures when selecting feeds, speeds, and cutting fluids for this tool.
