Harvey Tool 893320 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 0.125in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 893320 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components. With a 0.125-inch cutter diameter and a narrow 0.02-inch cutting width, this tool produces precise, tight-tolerance keyseat slots used to locate and retain Woodruff keys in rotating assemblies. The straight-tooth configuration and uncoated bright finish make it well suited for a range of ferrous and non-ferrous applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this type of cutter when shaft keyway accuracy is critical to assembly fit and function.

This cutter is intended for use on CNC machining centers and manual knee mills where small-diameter, narrow-width keyseat operations are required. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. Secondary workpiece materials include non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The 1/8-inch straight shank connects directly to standard collets or end mill holders, making setup straightforward for typical machining operations.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard materials
• 0.125-inch cutter diameter with 0.02-inch cutting width for narrow, precise keyseat slots
• Straight-tooth configuration provides clean, consistent cutting action
• 6-tooth design for efficient chip evacuation at small cutter diameters
• 0.04-inch neck diameter and 0.125-inch neck length allow access in tight clearance zones
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of workpiece materials

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/8-inch collets or end mill holders on CNC machining centers and manual mills. Suitable for steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials as listed in manufacturer specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of this cutter should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with small-diameter carbide tooling. Secure the 1/8-inch shank fully in a properly sized collet or end mill holder before operation and verify runout is within acceptable tolerance for the application. Avoid side-loading or interrupted cuts that exceed the rated cutting width, as solid carbide tooling at this diameter is susceptible to fracture under excessive lateral force. Always set spindle speed and feed rate according to the workpiece material and manufacturer cutting data recommendations.
