Harvey Tool 32916-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 1.5in Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 32916-C3 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and keyways in mating components. Built from brazed solid carbide and finished with an AlTiN coating, this cutter delivers extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials. The straight-tooth configuration provides clean, controlled cuts at a 1.5-inch cutter diameter and 0.5-inch cutting width. With a 3/4-inch shank diameter and 4-inch overall length, it mounts in standard toolholders and runs on most vertical milling machines and machining centers. Six cutting teeth balance material removal rate with surface finish quality.

This cutter is suited for job shops, production machining environments, and tool rooms where precision keyseat geometry is required. It is commonly used by machinists producing shafts, hubs, and drive components in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications. The Weldon flat on the shank provides a positive grip in set-screw-style toolholders, reducing pullout risk during interrupted cuts. The AlTiN coating improves thermal resistance, making this cutter a strong choice for dry or minimal-lubrication machining operations.

Key Features

• Brazed solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions
• Straight-tooth design for clean keyseat slot geometry
• Weldon flat on shank for secure set-screw toolholder retention
• 6 teeth balance cutting efficiency with finish quality
• 1.5-inch cutter diameter with 0.5-inch cutting width for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles

Compatibility

Designed for use in vertical milling machines and machining centers accepting a 3/4-inch shank diameter with Weldon flat retention. Suitable for standard Woodruff keyseat applications in shafts and hubs across general machining and production environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine setup and cutting tool safety. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the toolholder is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify set screws engage the Weldon flat securely before running. Consult machine and toolholder manufacturer specifications for maximum allowable spindle speed and feed rates for this cutter diameter and material combination.
