Harvey Tool 22530 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22530 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and workpieces. It features a 0.375-inch cutting diameter and a 0.062-inch cutting width, producing precise semicircular keyseats sized for standard Woodruff keys. The 3/8-inch shank diameter provides a secure connection in standard collet chucks and end mill holders. With 8 straight teeth and a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter is suited for general-purpose machining in a range of workpiece materials. Overall length is 2.5 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and production shops are the primary users of this type of cutter.

The HARVEY TOOL 22530 is used in CNC machining centers and manual milling machines for cutting Woodruff keyseat slots in shafts, spindles, and similar components. The straight-tooth configuration provides clean entry and consistent slot geometry in typical keyseat applications. This cutter is appropriate for job shops and production environments where accurate keyseat depth and width control are required. The 0.062-inch cutting width corresponds to standard Woodruff key sizing used in mechanical assemblies across general manufacturing and repair work.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine setup and operation. Secure the shank fully in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder before beginning a cut, and verify runout before production use. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting any cutting tool. Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material and machine capability.
