Harvey Tool 22325 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22325 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating bores. It features a 0.25 inch cutting diameter and a narrow 0.025 inch cutting width, making it well suited for producing precise, tight-tolerance keyways in metal workpieces. The straight tooth configuration provides clean, consistent cuts in a range of materials. With a 2.5 inch overall length and a 1/4 inch shank diameter, this cutter mounts directly into standard collets or end mill holders. Machinists and toolmakers working on shaft assemblies, power transmission components, and machine rebuilds rely on this style of cutter for accurate keyseat profiles.

This cutter is used in vertical milling machines, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills for producing Woodruff keyseat slots in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is a standard tool in precision machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and manufacturing environments where shaft-to-hub keyway fitment is required. The 6-flute design suits applications where finish quality and dimensional accuracy are priorities.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in metal cutting
• 0.25 inch cutting diameter with 0.025 inch cutting width for narrow keyseat profiles
• Straight tooth configuration for clean, consistent keyseat cuts
• 6 teeth for improved surface finish and dimensional control
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers equipped with a 1/4 inch collet or end mill holder.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolmaker. Secure the 1/4 inch shank in a collet or end mill holder rated for the intended spindle speed before mounting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing tooling. Verify cutting depth and width against print tolerances before running the full keyseat pass, as carbide cutters are brittle and sensitive to side loading beyond rated cutting width.
