A dovetail cutter is a specialized milling tool designed to machine dovetail-shaped slots in workpieces.
It is commonly used after a straight slot is pre-machined, allowing the cutter to form the angled sides of the dovetail profile.
Dovetail cutters are widely used in:
• Fixture and tooling systems
• Machine components
• Mold and die manufacturing
• Mechanical assemblies
They ensure precise angles and stable machining performance.
