Harvey Tool 22455 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22455 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and bores. It features a 0.3125-inch cutting diameter and a 0.125-inch cutting width, with a straight-tooth configuration across 6 teeth. The 5/16-inch shank diameter matches the cutting diameter for rigid setup in standard collet chucks or end mill holders. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this cutter on manual mills and CNC machining centers when producing Woodruff keyseats to standard dimensional tolerances. The bright, uncoated carbide substrate is suited for a range of workpiece materials.

This cutter fits typical keyseat milling operations on shafts in mechanical power transmission assemblies, including gearboxes, pump shafts, and motor shafts requiring Woodruff-style key retention. The 2.5-inch overall length provides adequate reach for most standard setups without excessive tool overhang. The single-piece solid carbide construction delivers rigidity and dimensional consistency across the cut. It is sold individually and is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance-repair-operations toolrooms.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard 5/16-inch collet chucks and end mill holders on manual or CNC milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the shank in a clean, properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Do not exceed recommended speeds and feeds for the workpiece material and carbide substrate.
