Harvey Tool 22231 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22231 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyway slots used to seat Woodruff keys in shafts and bores. It features a 0.1875-inch cut diameter with a 0.031-inch cut width, a 3/16-inch shank diameter, and six straight teeth that deliver clean, accurate slot profiles in a single pass. The 0.093-inch neck diameter and 0.281-inch neck length provide clearance relief between the cutting head and the shank, reducing interference during plunge and slot operations. Overall length is 2 inches. This tool is intended for use by machinists and toolmakers working in manual or CNC milling environments.

The 22231 is suited for keyseat applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Its solid carbide construction and straight-tooth geometry make it a practical choice for precision keyway work in both job-shop and production settings. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for this cutter and is compatible with a range of cutting fluids and dry machining conditions depending on the workpiece material.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank in a properly sized collet or milling chuck and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer and tooling manufacturer recommendations for feed rate and spindle speed based on workpiece material and cut depth.
