Harvey Tool 69770 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 69770 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and bores. It features a 0.3125-inch cut diameter, a 0.187-inch cut width, and a straight tooth configuration with 6 flutes. The 5/16-inch shank connects directly to standard toolholders, and the overall length is 2.5 inches. The bright, uncoated carbide construction delivers rigidity and edge retention in demanding cutting applications. This cutter is suited for machinists and toolroom operators working on precision shaft components where accurate keyseat geometry is critical.

This keyseat cutter is intended for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It fits standard milling machine setups, CNC machining centers, and manual knee mills. The 0.156-inch neck diameter provides clearance during slotting operations, and the 1.0-inch neck length allows access into recessed or deep bore keyseat locations. Typical applications include shaft keyway preparation and component fitment work in general machining, toolroom, and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the shank fully in a compatible collet or toolholder before operation, and verify runout before beginning the cut. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or inspecting tooling. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate appropriate to the workpiece material.
