Harvey Tool 22510-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22510-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and workpieces to Woodruff key standards. It features a 0.375 inch cutting diameter and a narrow 0.031 inch cutting width, making it well suited for precise, close-tolerance keyway work. The straight tooth configuration and AlTiN coating deliver clean cuts in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. With a 3/8 inch shank diameter and 2.5 inch overall length, it mounts directly in standard end mill holders or collet chucks. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

This cutter is used in applications requiring accurate Woodruff keyseat profiles in shafts, gears, and other rotating components. It is appropriate for job shop, production, and maintenance machining environments where tight slot tolerances and repeatable depth of cut are required. The solid carbide construction and AlTiN finish make it effective in both dry and light-coolant cutting conditions. Typical users include machinists, tool makers, and CNC operators working in precision metalworking and mechanical power transmission applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in demanding cuts
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in ferrous and high-temperature alloy materials
• 0.375 inch cutting diameter with 0.031 inch cutting width for narrow, precise keyseats
• Straight tooth configuration for clean, consistent slot profiles
• 8 teeth for balanced chip load and smooth surface finish
• 3/8 inch shank diameter fits standard collet and end mill holder setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers accepting a 3/8 inch shank diameter toolholder or collet.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the cutter in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and torque to the toolholder manufacturer specification before use. Confirm spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and cutter diameter before engaging the cut. Never exceed the cutter depth of cut beyond the rated cutting width per pass without verifying tool rigidity and setup stability.
