Value Collection M117313001 T-slot Cutter Hss 1-15/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M117313001 is a high speed steel T-slot cutter designed for milling T-slots in machine tables, fixtures, and workholding components. The cutter measures 1-15/32 inches in diameter and cuts a slot 5/8 inches wide, with a staggered tooth configuration that helps reduce chatter and promotes smooth chip evacuation. The 1-inch shank diameter seats securely in standard milling machine spindles and arbors. With an overall length of 4-7/16 inches and a neck diameter of 0.7813 inches, this cutter is proportioned for reach and rigidity in typical T-slot milling operations. Installed by machinists and tool room professionals on vertical and horizontal mills.

This T-slot cutter is suited for creating standard 3/4-inch bolt T-slots in steel, cast iron, and aluminum workholding fixtures, machine tables, and jig plates. The staggered tooth geometry distributes cutting forces across alternating teeth, making it appropriate for both manual knee mills and CNC machining centers equipped with a 1-inch-diameter toolholder or collet. The shank length of 2-15/16 inches provides adequate clearance for most standard milling setups. Typical applications include manufacturing, maintenance, and tool room environments where T-slot profiles must be cut to accept standard fastening hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully in the arbor or collet and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting the cutter. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the work material to extend tool life and maintain surface finish.
