Value Collection FAC0860CO Cobalt Face Angle Cutter 60 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FAC0860CO is a cobalt face angle cutter designed for precision chamfering, countersinking, and angular milling operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter offers improved heat resistance and wear life compared to standard HSS tooling, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and higher-cycle production environments. Key geometry includes a 1 inch large cutter diameter, a 3/8 inch small diameter, an 11/16 inch width of cut, and a 60-degree included angle. The 1/2 inch shank diameter with a Weldon flat provides positive drive engagement in standard end mill holders, reducing the risk of cutter pullout under load.

This face angle cutter is appropriate for use in vertical machining centers, knee mills, and manual milling machines across job shop, toolroom, and light production settings. Typical applications include deburring, seat angle preparation, chamfering bolt hole entries, and angular form milling on steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The uncoated cobalt construction makes it easy to resharpen when edge condition degrades. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance machinists are the primary users of this cutter type.

Key Features

• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and tool life over standard HSS
• 60-degree included angle for standard chamfering and countersinking geometry
• 1 inch large cutter diameter with 3/8 inch small diameter and 11/16 inch width of cut
• 1/2 inch shank diameter with Weldon flat for positive drive in end mill holders
• Uncoated finish allows conventional resharpening to restore cutting edges
• 2-13/32 inch overall length suits most standard milling machine spindle clearances

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard end mill holders or collet chucks accepting a 1/2 inch shank diameter with a Weldon flat set-screw drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist using a standard end mill holder or side-lock holder with a set screw engaging the Weldon flat on the shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the power is locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Seat the shank fully into the holder to the recommended depth before tightening the set screw against the flat. Verify workpiece fixturing and cutter runout before beginning the cut to avoid premature edge wear or chatter.
