Harvey Tool 22615 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 22615 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the curved keyway seats used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. With a 0.5-inch cutting diameter and a 0.04-inch cutting width, this cutter produces narrow, precise keyseat profiles in a single pass. The straight-tooth configuration delivers clean cuts in a wide range of workpiece materials. The 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard milling collets and tool holders, and the 3-inch overall length provides adequate reach for typical keyseat applications. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians working on CNC mills or manual knee mills are the primary users of this type of cutter.

This keyseat cutter is suited for generating Woodruff keyseat slots in shafts, spindles, and similar rotating components in both job-shop and production environments. The bright, uncoated carbide finish makes it appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials where additional coating is not required. With 8 teeth and a solid carbide body, it maintains dimensional accuracy across repeated cuts and is well matched to light-to-moderate keyseat milling operations on manual and CNC machining centers.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch cutting diameter for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles
• 0.04-inch cutting width for narrow, precise slot geometry
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• Straight-tooth configuration for clean, consistent cuts
• 8-tooth design balances chip load and surface finish
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style keyseat cutter compatible with standard 1/2-inch milling collets and tool holders used on CNC and manual vertical milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist using a standard collet or end mill holder rated for the 1/2-inch shank diameter. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before tool changes. Verify runout with a dial indicator before cutting to maintain keyseat dimensional accuracy. Follow the machine manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for solid carbide cutters at the applicable cutting diameter.
