La présente Norme internationale spécifie les dimensions des fraises coniques à cône renversé et à cône direct, à queue cylindrique lisse, à queue cylindrique à méplat et à queue filetée. Les fraises à cône renversé et à cône direct ont les mêmes caractéristiques de conception. La présente Norme internationale est applicable aux fraises coniques à cône renversé et à cône direct à 45° et à 60° de diamètre taillant d2 compris entre 16 mm et 31,5 mm.

Overview

ISO 3859:2000 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the dimensions and design characteristics of inverse dovetail cutters and dovetail cutters with cylindrical shanks. These cutters are essential tools in precision machining, commonly used for creating dovetail grooves and joints in mechanical and manufacturing applications.

This standard addresses different shank types including:

• Plain cylindrical shanks
• Flatted cylindrical shanks
• Threaded shanks

ISO 3859:2000 covers dovetail cutters with cutting angles of 45° and 60°, and diameters ranging between 16 mm and 31.5 mm. By defining uniform dimensions and tolerances, the standard facilitates consistent manufacturing quality and interchangeability of these specific cutting tools worldwide.

Key Topics

• Types of cutters: Inverse dovetail cutters and dovetail cutters share identical design characteristics but differ in their cutting edge geometry, applicable in various machining contexts.
• Shank variants: The standard details specifications for plain, flatted, and threaded cylindrical shanks, ensuring compatibility with diverse milling machines.
• Dimensional specifications: Exact measurements including diameter (d2), cutter length, and cutting angles are standardized to enhance tool fitting and performance.
• Tolerances: Defined tolerances follow ISO 3338 series (parts 1-3), ensuring accuracy in the manufacturing process, with specific tolerance grades for each shank type-h8 for plain and threaded shanks, h6 for flatted shanks.
• Applications angles: Specified cutting angles of 45° and 60° accommodate standard dovetail machining needs.

Applications

ISO 3859:2000 dovetail cutters are widely used in the manufacturing and metalworking industries for creating precise dovetail joints, grooves, and slots found in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and machine components. Typical application areas include:

• Precision component manufacturing
• Tool and die making
• Automotive and aerospace industries
• Machine tool maintenance
• Custom machinery fabrication

The inclusion of different shank types in the standard ensures these cutters can be used in various machine setups, from manual milling machines to CNC machining centers, improving flexibility and productivity.

Related Standards

ISO 3859:2000 closely references and aligns with the following ISO documents, which define critical parameters for cylindrical shanks in milling cutters:

• ISO 3338-1: Dimensional characteristics of plain cylindrical shanks
• ISO 3338-2: Dimensional characteristics of flatted cylindrical shanks
• ISO 3338-3: Dimensional characteristics of threaded shanks

These interconnected standards collectively ensure that dovetail cutters conform to recognized dimensional and tolerance criteria, facilitating interoperability and ensuring tool quality compliance globally.

---

By adhering to ISO 3859:2000, manufacturers and users can ensure the reliability, interchangeability, and safety of inverse dovetail and dovetail cutters, thereby optimizing machining processes and maintaining international quality standards. This standard is essential for industries requiring precise dovetail cutting tools with standardized shank specifications.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiéeaux
comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude aledroit de fairepartie ducomité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en
liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 3.
Les projets de Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour
vote. Leur publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités
membres votants.
