Value Collection C1615032 T-slot Cutter 31/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1615032 is a high speed steel T-slot cutter designed for milling T-slots in machine tables, fixtures, and workholding components. The cutter measures 31/32 inches in diameter with a 25/64-inch cutting width, sized to match standard 1/2-inch bolt T-slots. It mounts on a 3/4-inch diameter shank with a 2-1/16-inch shank length and an overall length of 3-7/16 inches. A staggered tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation during the milling pass. Machinists and tool and die workers rely on this type of cutter for accurate, consistent T-slot profiles in metalworking applications.

This cutter is suited for use in vertical milling machines and knee mills where T-slot operations are performed on steel, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. The 17/32-inch neck diameter provides clearance between the shank and the slot floor, allowing the cutter to reach full depth without interference. It is appropriate for job shop, maintenance machining, and production fixture work requiring a 1/2-inch bolt T-slot profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or tool and die professional. Secure the 3/4-inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Power down the machine and confirm zero motion before mounting or removing the cutter. Always follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety procedures when operating milling equipment.
