Value Collection DC6003CO Dovetail Cutter 60 Deg Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DC6003CO is a cobalt dovetail cutter designed for milling angled undercut slots in metal workpieces. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers a 60-degree included angle with a 3/8-inch cut diameter and a 3/16-inch cutting width. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for use in standard machining environments where coating is not required. It mounts on a 3/8-inch shank and weighs 0.12 pounds. Machinists and toolroom operators use this cutter for dovetail slide features, fixture components, and T-slot work on manual mills and CNC machining centers.

This dovetail cutter is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance machining applications requiring precise angled cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The M42 cobalt grade provides additional heat resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it a practical choice for harder workpiece materials or higher-feed applications. It ships as a single unit and is suitable for both horizontal and vertical milling setups where a 3/8-inch shank collet or end mill holder is available.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• 3/8-inch cut diameter with 3/16-inch cutting width
• M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance
• Bright uncoated finish for general-purpose machining
• 3/8-inch shank diameter compatible with common collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose dovetail cutter for use in any milling setup accepting a 3/8-inch shank, including collet chucks and end mill holders on manual knee mills and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing tooling. Seat the shank fully in the collet or holder and torque the retention hardware according to the machine and toolholder manufacturer specifications. Inspect the cutter for chips or edge damage before use and ensure the workpiece is rigidly fixtured to prevent vibration during the dovetail cut.
