BROWNELLS CARBIDE SEMI-AUTO PISTOL SIGHT BASE CUTTER

Designed for precision pistol sight installation, the Brownells Carbide Semi-Auto Pistol Sight Base Cutter is engineered to cut accurate dovetails for a variety of 1911 Auto and semi-automatic pistol sight applications. Available in 60° and 65° shoulder configurations, these cutters are ideal for machining dovetail slots for factory sights as well as many aftermarket replacements. The 65° cutter is specifically suited for standard Colt factory and mil-spec 1911 sights, along with popular replacement sights that utilize a 65° dovetail.

Manufactured from solid carbide, this cutter is built to withstand repeated use on hardened steel slides while maintaining accuracy and cutting performance. The.330-inch cutting diameter is intentionally undersized to accommodate manufacturing tolerances and provide a custom-fit installation through multiple machining passes. Designed exclusively for use in a milling machine, it is an essential tool for professional gunsmiths performing sight upgrades and custom pistol work.

CAUTION: For use in milling machine only. Solid carbide cutter resists wear when cutting pistols made from hardened steel. 2' (5cm) long, 3⁄8' (9.5mm) diameter shank. 65° shoulder.
