Harvey Tool 22395 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22395 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyways used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. It features a 0.25-inch cut diameter and a 0.125-inch cut width, with a 0.25-inch shank diameter that seats directly into standard collet or end mill holders. Six straight teeth deliver clean, controlled cuts across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 2.5 inches overall length, the tool suits typical milling machine and machining center setups. The bright, uncoated solid carbide construction maintains edge integrity on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials.

This cutter is used in machining applications where precision keyseat geometry is required for mechanical power transmission components. Common scenarios include shaft keyway production in job shop, toolroom, and production machining environments. The 0.125-inch neck diameter and 0.375-inch neck length provide clearance for plunge and profile cutting in tight-tolerance keyway slots. Machinists working on steel and stainless steel assemblies will find this tool well suited to both roughing and finishing passes within its cut width.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and edge retention across ferrous and hard materials
• 0.25-inch cut diameter with 0.125-inch cut width for standard Woodruff keyseat geometry
• Six straight teeth for stable, even chip load in keyseat milling operations
• 0.125-inch neck diameter and 0.375-inch neck length provide clearance in confined keyway profiles
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• No Weldon flat on shank - seats in standard round-bore collet holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in milling machines and machining centers accepting a 0.25-inch shank diameter. Suitable for primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, as well as secondary materials including non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this tool should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank fully into a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the spindle and all axes are confirmed stationary before tool changes. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut when using solid carbide keyseat cutters.
