Harvey Tool 68320 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 0.1875 in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 68320 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling Woodruff keyseats and slot features in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces. It features a 0.1875-inch cut diameter, a 0.04-inch cut width, and a straight tooth configuration with 6 teeth. The 0.093-inch neck diameter and 0.281-inch neck length allow the cutter to reach into tight areas while maintaining clearance. The 3/16-inch shank diameter matches the cut diameter, making it compatible with standard ER or end mill collet toolholding systems. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this cutter in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills for precise keyseat work.

This cutter is suited for applications in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It is a strong fit for production shops and job shops running keyseat operations on shafts, hubs, and similar components. The bright uncoated finish makes it well suited for use with cutting fluids where coating compatibility might otherwise be a concern. At 2 inches overall length, it offers sufficient reach for standard keyseat depths without excessive overhang.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard material applications
• 0.1875-inch cut diameter with 0.04-inch cut width for precise Woodruff keyseat profiles
• Straight tooth configuration with 6 teeth for clean slot formation
• 0.093-inch neck diameter reduces interference during slotting operations
• 0.02-inch corner radius on cutting edges for controlled entry and reduced chipping
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids and workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as noted in manufacturer specifications. Accepts standard 3/16-inch shank toolholding collets.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician using a standard collet or end mill holder sized for a 3/16-inch shank. Ensure the spindle and workholding are fully secured and the machine is at a complete stop before changing or inspecting the cutter. Run speeds and feeds should be calculated based on workpiece material, cut width, and machine rigidity. Inspect the cutter for chipping before each use, especially after running in hard or abrasive materials.
