RWP-DC408C

Dovetail cutters are used to prepare workpieces for the Raptor dovetail system. The RWP-DC408C four flute coated dovetail cutter is intended for hard-material workpieces: steel, titanium, and others.

All Raptor Dovetail Fixtures are attached to the workpiece using the same simple dovetail. Setup is quick, easy and the same for every part. Best of all, Raptor Dovetail Fixtures only require 1/8" of material to hold the workpiece. That means less waste, easier prep, and no distortion.

* Raptor dovetail cutters cut at 60 degree angle.
