Harvey Tool 43762-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide Altin

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 43762-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and mating components. It features a 0.1875-inch cut diameter, a 0.062-inch cut width, and a straight-tooth configuration with 6 teeth. The AlTiN coating improves heat resistance and tool life when cutting ferrous and hard materials. With a 0.1875-inch shank diameter and 2-inch overall length, this cutter is sized for use in standard milling machine collets and tool holders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of cutter for precision keyseat operations where tight tolerances and clean slot geometry are required.

This keyseat cutter is suited for milling operations in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron as primary workpiece materials. It also performs in non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The straight-tooth profile is appropriate for conventional keyseat slotting on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills. The neck diameter of 0.093 inches and neck length of 0.562 inches provide clearance for cutting depth while maintaining rigidity during the cut.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive materials
• AlTiN coating provides elevated heat resistance and extended tool life in ferrous cutting applications
• Straight-tooth configuration with 6 teeth for clean keyseat slot geometry
• 0.062-inch cut width produces narrow, precise keyseat slots
• 0.093-inch neck diameter with 0.562-inch neck length allows clearance during deep slot operations
• Compatible with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Fits standard 3/16-inch shank collets and tool holders on CNC machining centers and manual milling machines.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine operation and toolholder setup. Secure the shank fully in a clean, properly sized collet or toolholder before use, and verify runout before beginning the cut. Power down and lock out the machine before changing cutters. Avoid side loads beyond the cutter geometry rating, and select appropriate feeds and speeds for the workpiece material and coating type.
