Harvey Tool 914950 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 1 in Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 914950 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and bores. It features a 1-inch cut diameter and a 0.125-inch cut width, making it suited for cutting standard Woodruff key slots with precision. The cutter is constructed from brazed solid carbide for hardness and wear resistance, and it runs uncoated with a bright finish. With a straight tooth configuration and 12 teeth, it delivers clean, consistent cuts in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. Licensed machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers of this type of cutter.

This keyseat cutter fits a 1/4-inch shank and has an overall length of 3.125 inches. It is used in vertical milling machines and machining centers for creating Woodruff keyseat slots in rotary shafts, hubs, and similar components across industrial, automotive, and general manufacturing applications. The Weldon flat on the shank provides a secure, anti-pullout connection when used with a set-screw-style tool holder. It is appropriate for both production runs and precision toolroom work.

Key Features

• Brazed solid carbide construction for extended tool life and rigidity
• 1-inch cut diameter with 0.125-inch cut width for standard Woodruff keyseat profiles
• 12 straight teeth for clean, stable cutting action
• Weldon flat on 1/4-inch shank prevents pullout in set-screw holders
• Bright/uncoated finish suitable for a broad range of workpiece materials
• 3.125-inch overall length provides clearance in typical milling setups

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-inch Weldon-style or set-screw tool holders in vertical milling machines and machining centers requiring a Woodruff keyseat cutter with a 1-inch cut diameter and 0.125-inch cut width.

Installation Notes

Install in a 1/4-inch Weldon-style holder, aligning the set screw to the Weldon flat before torquing the holder fastener. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and machine power is off before tool changes. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for brazed carbide tooling based on workpiece material. Secure workpiece fixturing before engaging the cutter to prevent movement during the keyseat pass.
