Value Collection ATF0480 Fly Cutter Straight Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ATF0480 is a straight-shank fly cutter designed for single-point face milling operations on milling machines and drill presses. The cutter features a 0.75-inch head diameter and accepts a 3/16-inch tool bit, with one bit position per cutter body. The 0.5-inch straight shank provides a standard, secure grip in collet chucks or drill press chucks. This tool is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals performing light face milling, spot facing, or surface finishing on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece cutter body built for bench-scale and production milling applications.

This fly cutter is intended for use in machine shop environments, vocational training facilities, and maintenance shops where face milling of flat surfaces is required. It is well suited for milling machines with 0.5-inch collet capacity or drill presses used for spot facing operations. Typical applications include surfacing small steel, aluminum, brass, or plastic workpieces where a single-point cutter provides clean, controlled material removal.
