1911 CARBIDE DOVETAIL SIGHT BASE CUTTER

1911 CARBIDE DOVETAIL SIGHT BASE CUTTER Reviews & Ratings

CARBIDE LO-MOUNT SIGHT BASE CUTTER


These cutters are specially designed by us and made to our specifications for cutting the sight base slot required to mount the Wichita and Novak Lo-Mount 1911 Auto sights. Use ¼' carbide end mill to remove the bulk of the material then make final dovetail cut. Final cut to lower rear of slide is done with an end mill and is not a part of the sight base cut. Made slightly undersized to compensate for variations in sight bases and milling tolerances on installation. With the popularity of custom 1911 Auto Pistols, this cutter is one that you will use frequently in your custom work. CAUTION: For use in milling machine only. Much harder and longer-lasting than HSS cutter. Use on hardened Colt factory slides.


SPECIFICATIONS:
  • Solid Carbide Cutter
  • 65 Degree Shoulder
  • Length: 2"
  • Shank Diameter: 1/2"
  • Cutter Diameter: 0.495"

Carbide Lo-Mount Sight Base Cutter
The only way to mount a low profile Novak sight. I have tried to do it with other 65 degree cutters, the results worked but I was not completely happy. This cutter, when properly set up after the initial quarter inch wide "pilot" cut is made, will produce results equal to "factory" results.
