Would it be prohibitive to have a .320 x .760 custom cutter made? 1/4
T-slot cutters are anywhere from $30 to $100, in HSS or cobalt, staggered
tooth. Haven't seen carbide.
Will a custom cutter cut as well as a stock cutter? Will limited chip
clearance nix this strategy from the gitgo?
Any sources for getting one made?


Can highly recommend AB Tools:

I've had a custom corner radius and dovetail cutter made by them in
solid carbide, the quality and performance was stellar.
I'd venture to say, their carbide tipped cutter, made to your specs,
will outperform an off the shelf cutter from say, MSC, and if I'm
reading your application correctly, do it in one pass?
