Dovetail Undercut Tool
This odd-looking tool is a time-saver for cutting internal dovetails. It takes a 3/16 tool bit that's ground to ~30 degrees and can be used to hog material out of the inside of a dovetail before going in with the more fragile and expensive 6-flute dovetail end mill.
The design motivation here was to reduce the diameter of the tool and still retain a reasonable degree of rigidity and usability. The diameter of the tool body is around .650". It mounts to the mill with an integral #1 Morse Taper. The whole unit is 12l14.
