Main Product Description
Klein C173.035.R is the exact 3.5 mm cutting-width variant
in the C173 family of HW Z4 T-slot cutters. The official
Item row specifies an 8 mm shank, 41 mm cutter diameter,
3.5 mm cutting width, and 44 mm overall length.
The four-wing cutter geometry is intended to produce a
T-slot profile in compatible material when used in a
properly matched hand router or router table. Klein lists
plastic material and aluminium as primary uses and also
identifies softwood, hardwood, plexiglass, and PVC among
the supported workpiece groups.
Correct 8 mm collet fit, cutter clearance, machine guarding,
workholding, entry strategy, feed direction, and compliance
with the machine and tool speed ratings are essential.
Verify that the 41 mm cutter body and 3.5 mm cutting width
suit the intended T-slot geometry before machining.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
Confirm the exact C173.035.R Item code rather than selecting
by the C173 family alone. Use a clean, compatible 8 mm collet
and verify that the router, table opening, guard, fence, and
workholding provide safe clearance for the 41 mm cutter body.
Confirm the required 3.5 mm slot width, tool projection, feed
direction, material support, and applicable machine and tool
speed limits before use.
