    Indexable carbide dovetail cutter

    Tim, If you email [email protected] my guess is that we could make a special 24mm x 60deg index-able dovetail cutter. Since you are cutting aluminum we would make it 2 or 3 flutes for strength. We do full specials all of the time. Alfred

    Cat40 Small tool holding options?

    Trying To Cut A Groove And I'm Stumped
