Harvey Tool 980020-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 980020-C3 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed to machine semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating bores. It features a 0.1875-inch cut diameter, a 0.02-inch cut width, and a 3/16-inch shank diameter with a 2-inch overall length. The six-tooth straight configuration and AlTiN coating make this cutter well suited for aggressive material removal in steel, stainless steel, and cast iron, as well as non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter on manual or CNC milling machines where precise keyseat geometry is required.

This cutter is used in machine shops, job shops, and maintenance environments where Woodruff-style keyseat profiles must be cut to close tolerances. Its compact neck diameter of 0.062 inches and short neck length of 0.093 inches allow it to reach into tight geometries while maintaining rigidity. The shank connects directly to the spindle via standard shank-style toolholding without a Weldon flat, making setup straightforward on most milling setups.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• AlTiN coating provides heat resistance and extended tool life in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, superalloys, and hard materials
• 0.1875-inch cut diameter and 0.02-inch cut width for precision Woodruff keyseat profiles
• Six straight teeth deliver consistent chip load and surface finish
• Compact neck geometry (0.062-inch diameter, 0.093-inch length) allows access to confined keyseat locations
• 3/16-inch shank diameter fits standard collets and toolholders without a Weldon flat

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in manual and CNC milling machine setups that accept a 3/16-inch shank. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, and cast iron; secondary materials include non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified machinist. Secure the 3/16-inch shank in a properly sized collet or toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the spindle before making any toolholder changes. Do not exceed the cutter's rated depth of cut or feed rate for the workpiece material being machined.
