Value Collection DC6015HS Dovetail Cutter 60 Degree Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DC6015HS is a 60-degree dovetail cutter designed for milling dovetail slots and angular undercuts in metalworking and machining applications. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter delivers reliable performance in standard cutting conditions. It features a 1.875-inch cutter diameter and a 13/16-inch (0.8125 inch) cutting width, making it well suited for producing accurately dimensioned dovetail features on ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. The 7/8-inch shank diameter provides stable tool holding in compatible milling machine spindles and tool holders. Machinists and toolroom operators will find this cutter appropriate for both production runs and one-off jobs.

This dovetail cutter is intended for use in vertical milling machines, knee mills, and machining centers equipped with a collet or end mill holder sized for a 7/8-inch shank. The 60-degree included angle is a commonly specified geometry for dovetail ways, slides, and fixtures in both manual and CNC machining environments. It is suited for job shops, maintenance departments, and production facilities working with mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The uncoated high speed steel construction means it performs best with proper cutting fluid applied during the operation.

Key Features

• 60-degree included angle for standard dovetail slot geometry
• 1.875-inch cutter diameter for wider dovetail features
• 0.8125-inch (13/16 inch) cutting width
• High speed steel construction provides toughness and resharpening capability
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids
• 7/8-inch shank diameter for secure clamping in standard tool holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in vertical milling machines and machining centers with tool holders or collets accepting a 7/8-inch straight shank. Suitable for general-purpose dovetail milling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and operated by machinists in milling machine setups. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing tooling. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and maintain cut quality, particularly when machining steel.
