Harvey Tool 71160 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 0.375 in Straight Tooth

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 71160 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating components. With a 0.375-inch cutter diameter, a 0.125-inch cutting width, and a 3/8-inch shank diameter, this cutter produces accurately sized keyways that conform to ANSI standard 403 (Old Standard 213). The straight-tooth configuration and bright, uncoated solid carbide construction deliver clean cuts in a wide range of metallic and non-metallic workpiece materials. It weighs approximately 0.14 pounds. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this cutter on vertical milling machines and machining centers where precise keyseat geometry is required.

This cutter is suited for keyseat operations on shafts in mechanical power transmission assemblies, including applications in industrial machinery, pumps, and drive components. The 2.5-inch overall length (OAL) provides adequate clearance for most standard setups without requiring extended-reach tooling. The 8-tooth straight configuration is appropriate for applications where a smooth, consistent finish in the keyseat pocket is needed. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-job sourcing or toolroom restocking.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter conforming to ANSI 403 (Old Standard 213), suitable for use in any milling machine or machining center equipped with a 3/8-inch collet or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist following safe machine tool practices. Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized collet or endmill holder before operation; verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the spindle before changing or inspecting the cutter. Do not exceed the cutter manufacturer's recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material being machined.
