The cutter measures 2.5 inches in diameter with a 0.5 inch cutting width and mounts on a 1 inch diameter shank. The M42 cobalt high-speed steel construction provides elevated heat and wear resistance compared to standard M2 HSS, making it well suited for harder workpiece materials and higher-feed applications. A staggered 12-tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and helps evacuate chips cleanly through the full slot depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis T-slot cutter is used in manual and CNC knee mills, horizontal mills, and machining centers where standard T-slot profiles must be cut after an initial slot has been roughed in with a standard end mill. It is appropriate for production shops, toolrooms, and maintenance departments machining T-slots in steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials. The 6.625 inch overall length provides adequate clearance for most standard mill table setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM42 cobalt HSS construction for extended tool life in ferrous and difficult-to-machine materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStaggered 12-tooth geometry reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5 inch cutter diameter with 0.5 inch cutting width for standard T-slot profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch shank diameter for rigid, low-runout mounting in standard arbors and holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.625 inch overall length provides clearance for typical mill table applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-mount T-slot cutter for use with standard 1 inch bore arbors and milling machine spindles accepting a 1 inch shank.

Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the arbor draw bar to the manufacturer-specified engagement before beginning a cut. Follow shop-standard speeds and feeds for cobalt HSS tooling based on workpiece material and depth of cut.\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: 2.5 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: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Teeth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\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: 0.5 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: STC2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702122971442,"sku":"STC2008","price":823.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2b09804c3b51dd82daf533b7904a255a.jpg?v=1788409476","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-stc2008-cobalt-t-slot-cutter-2-5in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
