Harvey Tool 22570-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22570-C3 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 0.187-inch cutting width, making it suited for producing precise Woodruff keyseats in a single pass. The straight-tooth configuration and 8-flute design promote clean chip evacuation and stable cutting action. An AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. This cutter is handled by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC milling machines.

This keyseat cutter is used in general machining, maintenance, and manufacturing environments where Woodruff keyseats are required on shafts, spindles, or mechanical assemblies. The 3/8-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and end mill holders commonly found in vertical milling setups. With a 2.5-inch overall length, it provides adequate reach for most standard keyseat depths without excessive tool deflection. Suitable for use in both job shop and production environments across metalworking, aerospace component work, and mechanical repair applications.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard materials
• AlTiN coating for high-temperature resistance and extended tool life
• 0.375-inch cutting diameter with 0.187-inch cutting width for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles
• 8 straight teeth for stable, chatter-resistant cutting action
• 3/8-inch shank diameter compatible with standard collets and end mill holders
• 2.5-inch overall length provides reach without sacrificing rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use keyseat cutter for milling machines equipped with a 3/8-inch collet or end mill holder. Consult machine tooling specifications to confirm holder compatibility before use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and the spindle is locked before loading or removing the cutter. Secure the 3/8-inch shank firmly in a clean, undamaged collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut when working with solid carbide tooling.
