Harvey Tool 22528-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22528-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating components. It features a 0.375-inch cut diameter and a 0.06-inch cut width, making it suited for precision keyseat work in tight tolerances. The straight tooth configuration and AlTiN coating provide wear resistance and thermal stability during cutting operations. With a 3/8-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this cutter mounts directly in standard collet chucks or end mill holders on vertical milling machines and machining centers. Machinists and tool and die professionals are the primary users.

This cutter is applied in shaft keyway operations where a Woodruff key style seat is required. It is well suited for production and maintenance machining environments, including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing shops. The 8-tooth straight configuration supports clean entry and consistent material removal in steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials. The AlTiN finish extends tool life in ferrous and high-temperature alloy applications compared to uncoated carbide tooling.

Key Features

• 0.375-inch cut diameter for standard Woodruff keyseat sizing
• 0.06-inch cut width for precise, narrow keyseat profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and long tool life
• AlTiN coating provides heat and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• Straight tooth configuration for clean, stable cutting action
• 8 teeth for consistent chip load distribution and surface finish

Compatibility

Designed for use in vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers with standard collet or end mill holder systems accepting a 3/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by qualified machinists in milling setups. Secure the 3/8-inch shank firmly in a collet chuck or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before making any tool changes or adjustments. Avoid side loading beyond the rated cut width to prevent tool deflection or breakage.
