TC55‑DC Series 55° Tungsten Steel Dovetail Chamfer & Slot Cutter
 

The TC55‑DC Series combines a 55° dovetail profile with a tungsten steel alloy body, offering outstanding wear resistance and rigidity for both steel and aluminum machining. Its 4‑flute geometry, optimized chip gullets, and variety of angle options (30°, 45°, 60°, 75°) make it an all‑in‑one solution for dovetail slotting, 90° chamfering, and precision edge preparation in CNC milling centers.

Key Features

• Tungsten Steel Construction:
  Crafted from premium tungsten steel alloy for superior hardness and extended tool life in demanding metalworking applications.

• Multiple Included Angles:
  Available in 30°, 45°, 55°, 60°, and 75° profiles to accommodate a wide range of dovetail slot and chamfer requirements.

• 4‑Flute Geometry:
  Four cutting edges deliver balanced cutting forces, smooth surface finishes, and improved material removal rates in both steel and aluminum.

• Optimized Chip Evacuation:
  Generous chip gullets paired with a 35° spiral relief enable rapid chip clearance, reducing heat buildup and preventing recutting of chips.

• Straight Shank & Mounting Options:
  Offered with straight‑shank or Weldon flat configurations in common sizes (Ø4 mm to Ø20 mm), ensuring compatibility with a variety of tool holders.

Specification

Applications

• Dovetail Slotting: Precision machining of dovetail grooves for slide guides, dovetail joints, and T‑slots in fixtures and tooling.

• Chamfering & Deburring: 90° edge break and chamfer on steel and aluminum components for improved assembly fit and aesthetics.

• General Milling: Face and side milling operations where angled groove profiles are required, in aerospace, automotive, mold‑making, and general engineering.

Benefits

• Reduced Tool Inventory: One cutter handles multiple angles and operations, minimizing tool changes.

• Higher Throughput: 4‑flute design and optimized chip removal boost material removal rates.

• Exceptional Durability: Tungsten steel construction resists wear even in abrasive materials.

• Flexibility: Wide range of included angles and shank options fits diverse CNC setups.
