Harvey Tool 982030-C3 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 1in

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 982030-C3 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and bores. It features a 1-inch cutting diameter and a 0.078-inch (5/64-inch) cutting width, making it suited for producing precise Woodruff keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The cutter is constructed from brazed solid carbide and carries an AlTiN (aluminum titanium nitride) coating to extend tool life at elevated cutting temperatures. With 12 straight teeth and a 3/8-inch shank diameter, it is sized for use in standard milling machines and machining centers. Overall length is 3-5/64 inches. This tool is installed and operated by machinists and toolroom professionals.

This cutter is applied in shaft keyway machining operations on manual knee mills, CNC vertical machining centers, and toolroom mills. It is well suited for keyseat work in automotive drivetrain components, industrial shaft assemblies, and general precision machining. The straight tooth configuration provides clean, controlled cuts in a wide range of workpiece materials. The Weldon flat on the shank ensures positive drive and minimizes slippage under cutting loads.

Key Features

• 1-inch cutting diameter with 0.078-inch (5/64-inch) cutting width for standard Woodruff keyway profiles
• Brazed solid carbide construction for hardness and wear resistance
• AlTiN coating extends tool life in high-temperature cutting conditions
• 12 straight teeth for consistent, controlled material removal
• Weldon flat on 3/8-inch shank for secure tool holding and positive drive
• 3-5/64-inch overall length for reach in typical milling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard milling machine spindles and tool holders accepting a 3/8-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Secure the cutter in a Weldon-style end mill holder torqued to the holder manufacturer's specification before beginning any cut. Confirm the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing or adjusting the cutter. Do not use this cutter for plunge cuts or operations outside its rated cutting width and diameter.
