Harvey Tool 43408-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 43408-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseats and slots in shafts and workpieces. It features a 0.625 inch cut diameter and a 0.25 inch cut width, with a straight tooth configuration that delivers clean, accurate cuts in a single pass. The 5/8 inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding, while the AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and extends tool life in demanding machining environments. With 6 cutting teeth and a 3.5 inch overall length, this cutter suits both manual and CNC machining operations. It is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals.

This Woodruff keyseat cutter is suited for cutting standard keyseat profiles in round stock across a range of materials including steel, stainless steel, and alloy materials where AlTiN coating performance is advantageous. Typical applications include shaft keyway preparation in job shops, production machining, and toolroom work. The straight tooth geometry makes it well suited for side milling and slotting operations where precise width control is required.

Key Features

• 0.625 inch cut diameter with 0.25 inch cut width for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles
• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating provides thermal resistance and extended tool life in ferrous and hardened materials
• Straight tooth configuration for clean side-milling and slotting cuts
• 6 cutting teeth for efficient material removal
• 5/8 inch shank diameter for secure, rigid tool holding in standard collets and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount keyseat cutter for use in standard 5/8 inch collet chucks, end mill holders, and arbor-style tool holders on vertical milling machines and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or tool holder and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and de-energize the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Follow machine manufacturer feed and speed guidelines for carbide keyseat cutters; do not exceed recommended depths of cut for the cutter diameter and material being machined.
