    Default Carbide insert Dovetail milling cutter.

    Most of the suppliers are closed now that we are approaching the big days and I need a dovetail milling cutter soon.

    I have given it some thought and think about making one with a carbide indexable tip. I am thinking of cutting an arbor and remove some metal of one side to place the tip. The tip is triangular with sharp points so a perfect 60 degrees can be done.

    Any Ideas?
    Regards

    Johan

    Here is one I made a few years ago. I tended to use it to rough out, then finish with a HSS dovetail cuter.

    I also made one and it works great, plan from CNC Cookbook but I used a TCMT insert
