Value Collection FAC1060CO Cobalt Face Angle Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FAC1060CO is a cobalt face angle cutter designed for precision chamfering, countersinking, and angle-seat cutting in metal fabrication and machining applications. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers heat resistance and edge retention beyond standard HSS tooling, making it suitable for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. It features a 60-degree included angle, a large diameter of 1-1/4 inches, a small diameter of 1/2 inch, and a width of cut measuring 25/32 inches. The 5/8-inch shank diameter includes a Weldon flat for secure, anti-rotation clamping in compatible toolholders. Overall length is 2-21/32 inches. Machinists, tool and die makers, and CNC operators install this cutter.

This face angle cutter is suited for milling machines, drill presses, and CNC machining centers where consistent angular surface preparation is required. Typical applications include cutting valve seats, producing chamfers on bores, and preparing mating faces in precision assemblies. The uncoated cobalt construction makes it appropriate for use with cutting fluids on ferrous metals, stainless, and other tough alloys where a sharp, durable edge is critical to holding tight angular tolerances.

Key Features

• Cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat and wear resistance over standard HSS
• 60-degree included angle for consistent chamfer and valve-seat geometry
• Large diameter of 1-1/4 inches with a small diameter of 1/2 inch
• 25/32-inch width of cut for controlled material removal
• 5/8-inch shank diameter with Weldon flat for positive, non-slip clamping
• Uncoated finish compatible with soluble and straight cutting oil applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for standard face angle cutter applications requiring a 5/8-inch Weldon flat shank and a 60-degree included angle in milling and machining setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or CNC operators. Secure the Weldon flat shank firmly in a compatible end-mill holder or collet chuck with the setscrew engaging the flat to prevent rotation under cutting loads. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before tool changes. Always verify runout with a dial indicator after mounting and use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish quality.
