Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers improved heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS tooling, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and interrupted cuts. The cutter measures 1.25 inches in diameter with a 0.5-inch cutting width and mounts on a 0.75-inch diameter shank. Overall length is 5.125 inches. Eight staggered teeth provide balanced chip load and reduce chatter during the full-width T-slot pass. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this cutter for production and maintenance milling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis T-slot cutter is used in manual and CNC milling machines to complete the horizontal undercut portion of a T-slot after an initial vertical slot has been roughed out. Typical applications include cutting T-slots in machine tables, vise bases, fixture plates, and other workholding or clamping components. The staggered tooth geometry suits both ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials. The M42 cobalt grade extends tool life when machining alloy steels and stainless materials at moderate surface speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for improved heat resistance and tool life over standard HSS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaggered tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and chatter during full-width T-slot passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 teeth provide even chip load distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.25-inch cutter diameter and 0.5-inch cutting width for standard T-slot profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.75-inch shank diameter for secure arbor or collet chuck mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5.125-inch overall length provides clearance for typical milling machine spindle-to-table reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in manual and CNC milling machines accepting a 0.75-inch diameter shank arbor or collet.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the shank fully in the arbor or collet to the manufacturer-specified engagement depth before tightening. Select spindle speed and feed rate appropriate to the cutter diameter, workpiece material, and machine rigidity — consult published HSS cobalt cutting data tables for starting parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\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\u003eCutter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Staggered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.35 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 23241630\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: STC1008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51718881313074,"sku":"STC1008","price":309.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1ca4f752f8ada76379d3f3f50123440c.jpg?v=1788556148","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-stc1008-t-slot-cutter-cobalt-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
