Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers the heat and wear resistance needed when cutting ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic workpieces. The cutter measures 3 inches in diameter with a 3\/16 inch (0.1875 inch) cutting width and mounts on a 1 inch arbor. Its 18-tooth staggered configuration reduces cutting forces and chatter, producing smoother finishes in slotting and side-milling applications. The uncoated finish allows for easy visual inspection of tool condition during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for use on manual knee mills and CNC horizontal milling machines in job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments. Typical applications include slotting, grooving, and side-facing operations on steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics. The M42 cobalt grade makes it a practical choice when higher cutting temperatures are expected or when softer M2 tooling has shown premature wear. Installation requires a standard horizontal milling arbor with a 1 inch bore. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this cutter type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for elevated heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStaggered tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and minimizes chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3 inch cutter diameter with 3\/16 inch cutting width for precise slot and groove work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch arbor hole fits standard horizontal milling arbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 teeth provide a balance of chip clearance and finish quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated surface allows straightforward visual wear inspection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and non-metallic materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use side milling cutter for horizontal milling machines equipped with a 1 inch milling arbor.

Mount the cutter securely on a clean, burr-free 1 inch milling arbor and confirm all arbor nuts and collars are properly tightened before engaging the spindle. Inspect the cutter for chips or cracks before each use and never exceed the machine spindle speed recommended for the cutter diameter and material being cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches (0.1875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArbor Hole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Staggered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt High-Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Material Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: M42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Application\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ferrous Metals, Non-Ferrous Metals, Non-Metallic Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CSTM3187\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68388191502642,"sku":"CSTM3187","price":185.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/67486759b313f6f06675f02bb6712d18.jpg?v=1793904440","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-cstm3187-side-milling-cutter-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
