Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers heat resistance and edge retention when cutting ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other hard materials. The 2-inch cutter diameter pairs with a 3\/16-inch cutting width to match standard T-slot profiles. A staggered tooth configuration with 10 teeth reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation, making it well-suited for manual mills, knee mills, and CNC machining centers. Licensed machinists and toolroom operators are the primary installers and users of this tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe STC1603 is used in toolroom and production machining environments where T-slots must be cut to precise widths for bolts, clamps, and fixtures. The 1-inch shank diameter fits standard milling machine spindles and toolholders. The 20mm neck diameter provides clearance for the shank to pass through the previously cut slot without interference. With an overall length of 5-11\/16 inches, this cutter reaches standard table depths on most vertical and horizontal mills. It is appropriate for both one-off toolroom work and short-run production operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStaggered tooth configuration with 10 teeth reduces vibration and improves chip flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch cutting width matches common T-slot bolt profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20mm neck diameter provides clearance when entering pre-cut slots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch shank diameter fits standard milling arbors and toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-11\/16-inch overall length accommodates typical machine table depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use T-slot cutter for vertical mills, horizontal mills, and CNC machining centers equipped with a 1-inch arbor or toolholder bore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eT-slot cutters are installed by machinists and toolroom technicians following standard milling setup procedures. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the 1-inch shank firmly in a matched arbor or shell mill holder, and verify runout before cutting. Use appropriate feeds, speeds, and cutting fluid for the workpiece material to prevent premature tool wear or breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTooth Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Staggered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: STC1603\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723561533746,"sku":"STC1603","price":567.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/37649a94968312bdb6f3caa82a52119f.jpg?v=1788606296","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-stc1603-t-slot-cutter-2in-cobalt-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
