Awl--
I'm using a std 3/8 radius concave cutter, 3/4 shank. The head is about 1" OD, which causes some clearance problems in my particular app. I would like to find one w/ an OD of 3/4 or 7/8, but w/ no luck so far.
Saw solid carbide concave radius cutters, where the cutting part is cut right into the shank--IOW, the whole tool is 1" OD, end to end--no neck, head, etc.
I know reducing the OD reduces the inner ID (web), and therefore the strength, but these are basically a finish-type cuts.
Iny idears? Someone suggested 1/4 radius cutter, in 2 passes, but this would be a pita. TIA.
