Harvey Tool 22131 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22131 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating components. It features a 0.125 inch cutting diameter, a 0.031 inch cutting width, and a 1/8 inch shank diameter, with an overall length of 1.5 inches. The straight-tooth configuration delivers clean, accurate cuts in the keyseat profile. With 6 teeth and a bright uncoated finish, this cutter is suited for precision work in tool rooms, maintenance shops, and production environments. Machinists and toolmakers are the typical installers of this type of cutter.

This Woodruff keyseat cutter is used in milling operations where a semicircular keyseat must be machined into a shaft or hub to accept a Woodruff key. The compact 0.125 inch diameter makes it appropriate for small-diameter shafts and tight-tolerance applications. It is commonly used in manual mills, CNC machining centers, and tool-and-die operations across light manufacturing, instrument manufacturing, and general metalworking. The solid carbide construction supports use in harder workpiece materials where high-speed steel tooling would wear prematurely.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for wear resistance and rigidity in demanding cuts
• 0.125 inch cutting diameter with a 0.031 inch cutting width for precise keyseat profiles
• Straight-tooth configuration produces clean, consistent cuts
• 6-tooth design balances chip clearance and cut smoothness
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose keyseat milling
• 1/8 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard collets and chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit tooling option for machines accepting a 1/8 inch shank Woodruff keyseat cutter in standard collet or chuck setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists using a compatible collet, end mill holder, or chuck rated for 1/8 inch shank tooling. Ensure the spindle and workpiece are properly secured before initiating the cut. Follow machine tool manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate for the specific workpiece material. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or setting tooling.
