Harvey Tool 984520 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 0.75in Solid Carbide

Product Description

The HARVEY TOOL 984520 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and mating components. Built from brazed solid carbide with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers a 0.75 inch cut diameter and a 0.062 inch cut width. The straight tooth configuration provides clean, consistent cuts across a 3.062 inch overall length. With 10 teeth and a 0.375 inch shank diameter, this cutter is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on precision shaft and keyway applications in production and job-shop environments.

This cutter is engineered for use on steel, stainless steel, and cast iron as primary workpiece materials, with additional capability on non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. It connects via a standard shank interface without a Weldon flat, making it compatible with standard collet and milling chuck setups. Typical applications include cutting Woodruff keyseats on motor shafts, gearbox components, and other rotating assemblies where a precise, tight-tolerance slot is required for keyed connections.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling operations and toolholder setup procedures. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing cutters. Secure the shank firmly in a clean, properly sized collet or milling chuck to the toolholder manufacturer's specified clamping torque range. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and machine manufacturer guidelines when operating at cutting speeds recommended for solid carbide tooling in the target workpiece material.
