Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers hardness and heat resistance needed for cutting steel, cast iron, and other ferrous materials at sustained feed rates. The cutter measures 2 inches in diameter with a 5\/16-inch cutting width, a 1-inch shank diameter, and an overall length of 5-11\/16 inches. The staggered-tooth configuration with 10 teeth promotes chip clearance and reduces cutting forces during the T-slot pass. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this cutter on vertical mills and knee mills to complete T-slot profiles after an initial slot has been roughed out with an end mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis T-slot cutter is suited for producing standard T-slots in workholding tables, vise bases, and fixture plates. The 20mm neck diameter and 1-inch shank are sized for use in standard R8, CAT 40, or equivalent toolholding systems found in job shop and production environments. It is applicable to both manual and CNC vertical milling operations where a reliable, single-pass T-slot profile is required in medium to hard ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt high-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention in ferrous materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch cutter diameter with 5\/16-inch cutting width for standard T-slot profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaggered-tooth design with 10 teeth promotes chip evacuation and reduces chatter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch shank diameter compatible with standard milling machine toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20mm neck diameter provides clearance relief between the shank and cutter head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-11\/16-inch overall length accommodates typical T-slot depth requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use T-slot cutter for standard vertical milling machine setups requiring a 2-inch diameter, 5\/16-inch wide T-slot profile with a 1-inch shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eT-slot cutters are installed by licensed machinists or qualified toolroom personnel. Before mounting, confirm the milling machine spindle is fully powered down and the drawbar is properly torqued to secure the arbor or toolholder. A straight slot should be pre-milled to the cutter diameter depth before the T-slot cutter is engaged to prevent overloading the neck. Use cutting fluid appropriate for cobalt tooling when working ferrous materials to extend tool life and maintain surface finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutter Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt (M42 HSS)\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: 5\/16 inches\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 (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-11\/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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\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: STC1605\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692818006322,"sku":"STC1605","price":506.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3af2160eb0a871934c41764fe5c62f8e.jpg?v=1788303416","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-stc1605-t-slot-cutter-2in-cobalt-m42","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
