Harvey Tool 22570 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22570 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyway slots found in shafts and bores. It features a 0.375-inch cutting diameter, a 0.187-inch cutting width, and an 8-tooth straight-tooth configuration that delivers clean, accurate cuts in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated carbide construction provides good chip visibility and suits general-purpose keyseat work across a range of machine shop and maintenance applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this cutter.

This cutter is suited for producing Woodruff key slots in precision machining operations on manual mills and CNC machining centers. 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, the cutter provides adequate reach for most standard shaft keyway applications in both production and repair environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and operated by machinists using vertical mills or CNC machining centers. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter from the tool holder. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized collet or end mill holder to minimize runout. Follow the machine tool manufacturer and applicable shop safety guidelines for speeds, feeds, and depth of cut when performing keyseat milling operations.
