200 Dovetail Cutter Tc

A dovetail cutter is a specialized cutting tool used in machining and metalworking to create dovetail-shaped grooves or slots in a workpiece. Dovetail cutters are typically used for making dovetail joints, which are often used in applications such as woodworking, metalworking, and precision engineering. Dovetail joints are known for their strength and ability to resist pull-apart forces, making them suitable for tasks like connecting parts of machinery or creating sliding mechanisms. Key features of a dovetail cutter include: Dovetail Angle: Dovetail cutters are designed with a specific angle that matches the desired dovetail angle for the joint. Common angles include 60 degrees and 90 degrees, but other angles are also possible depending on the application. Flutes: Dovetail cutters have multiple flutes (usually two or three) that help in removing material efficiently and ensuring a precise cut. Shank: Dovetail cutters have a shank that fits into a milling machine or machining tool’s collet or chuck for secure and stable operation.
