Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter handles harder materials and elevated cutting temperatures better than standard M2 HSS tooling. It features a 1\/2-inch cutter diameter, a 7\/32-inch (0.2188-inch) cutting width, and a 3\/8-inch shank diameter. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for cobalt-grade tooling that will be resharpened in the field. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians use this cutter on manual mills and CNC machining centers wherever a precise 60-degree dovetail form is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for job shop, maintenance, and production applications requiring dovetail slots for ways, slides, and fixture components. The 60-degree included angle is a common standard for machine tool dovetail ways and general-purpose dovetail joinery in metal. The 3\/8-inch shank fits standard end mill holders and collet chucks commonly found on Bridgeport-style knee mills and compact CNC vertical machining centers. It is appropriate for use in both prototype work and short-run production where consistent dovetail geometry is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60-degree included angle produces standard dovetail slot geometry for ways and slides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction provides improved heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch cutter diameter with 7\/32-inch cutting width for moderate-depth dovetail features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch shank diameter fits common end mill holders and ER collet chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows for easy resharpening and is compatible with most cutting fluids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard dovetail cutter for use in any mill or machining center accepting a 3\/8-inch shank toolholder; fits ER collet chucks, set-screw end mill holders, and side-lock holders with appropriate bore size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before inserting or removing the cutter from the holder. Verify shank seating depth and holder runout before cutting, as excessive runout accelerates tool wear and degrades slot geometry. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material, and never exceed the cutter manufacturer recommended feed and speed parameters for cobalt HSS tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2188 inches (7\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Material\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: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: DC6004CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699471319346,"sku":"DC6004CO","price":53.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/41209f47a60f26335c88c78a93ba9f60.jpg?v=1788376107","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-dc6004co-dovetail-cutter-60-degree-cobalt","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
