Value Collection ATF0484 Fly Cutter 1.5 in Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ATF0484 is a single-bit fly cutter designed for use in milling operations where a large-diameter facing cut is required from a small, lightweight tooling setup. The cutter features a 1.5-inch head diameter and a 0.75-inch straight shank, making it compatible with standard milling machine spindles and drill press setups capable of holding that shank size. The tool accepts a 5/16-inch tool bit and is configured for one bit per cutter. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact, easy-to-handle cutter suited for light to moderate facing and surfacing work on metals, plastics, and similar materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this tooling.

This fly cutter is used in machine shop environments for single-point facing, surfacing, and light profiling cuts. It is well suited for small-batch and prototype work where a fly cutter offers a cost-effective alternative to indexable face mills. The straight shank design allows direct mounting in a drill chuck or collet holder on a vertical milling machine or drill press. It is appropriate for both production shops and maintenance machining applications where surface finish and dimensional accuracy are required.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch head diameter for wide facing cuts in a single pass
• 0.75-inch straight shank for direct chuck or collet mounting
• Accepts a 5/16-inch tool bit for flexible cutter grinding options
• Single-bit configuration allows easy bit indexing and replacement
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for reduced spindle load

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank fly cutter for use in vertical milling machines and drill presses equipped with a chuck or collet holder sized to accept a 0.75-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tooling technician. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before inserting or removing the cutter from the chuck or collet. Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck jaws or collet is torqued to the machine manufacturer's specification before operation. Verify tool bit set screw engagement before running the spindle, and confirm the workpiece is securely fixtured to prevent movement during the facing cut.
