Harvey Tool 913460-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 913460-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for cutting semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating bores. It features a 0.5 inch cutting diameter, a 0.125 inch cutting width, and a 0.5 inch shank diameter. The tool carries an AlTiN coating, which improves heat resistance and extends tool life when cutting ferrous and difficult materials. With 8 straight teeth and a 3 inch overall length, this cutter delivers controlled chip evacuation and consistent keyseat geometry. It is intended for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills by machinists working in precision metalworking applications.

This keyseat cutter is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. The 0.156 inch neck diameter and 0.25 inch neck length provide clearance for keyseat operations where the cutter must reach below the workpiece surface. It is well matched for job shops, production facilities, and tool rooms producing shafts, hubs, and mechanical assemblies that require Woodruff key fitment.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and hard-material cutting
• AlTiN coating improves oxidation resistance and thermal hardness at elevated cutting temperatures
• 0.5 inch cutting diameter with 0.125 inch cutting width for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles
• 8 straight teeth provide clean, consistent keyseat geometry with controlled chip load
• 0.156 inch neck diameter and 0.25 inch neck length allow reach below the workpiece surface
• 0.015 inch corner radius reduces stress concentration at keyseat corners

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fitment Woodruff keyseat cutter for use with primary workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, and secondary materials including non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Compatible with standard 1/2 inch collet and end mill holders via shank connection.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the 0.5 inch shank in a properly sized collet or end mill holder and verify runout before cutting. Spindle speed and feed rate should be selected based on workpiece material, machine rigidity, and cutting depth in accordance with the tool manufacturer's recommendations. Inspect the cutter for chipping or coating wear before each use and replace if damage is observed.
