Internal Tool 83-1030-C Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Solid Carbide

Product Description

The INTERNAL TOOL 83-1030-C is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for cutting keyseat slots in shafts and workpieces across a range of metal types. It features a 3/16 inch (0.1870 inch) cutter diameter with a 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) cutting width and a straight tooth configuration. The tool carries an AlTiN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life in demanding cutting conditions. With 6 teeth and a micrograin carbide grade, it is built for consistent performance in milling operations requiring precise, narrow slot geometry.

This keyseat cutter is suited for use on steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is a common choice for machining operations where a standard Woodruff key slot must be cut to close tolerances. The 3/16 inch shank diameter (0.1870 inch) fits standard collet and milling setups. The overall length of 2.5 inches allows clearance in most vertical and horizontal milling machine spindles. Machinists and tool and die technicians working in production or job-shop environments will find this cutter appropriate for both roughing and finishing keyseat passes in a single setup.

Key Features

• Solid carbide micrograin construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• AlTiN coating provides thermal protection and reduces friction at elevated cutting speeds
• Straight tooth configuration delivers clean slot geometry in keyseat milling applications
• 6-tooth design balances chip clearance with cutting engagement across compatible materials
• Neck diameter of 0.0930 inches and neck length of 0.5620 inches allow reach into shallow pockets without interference
• No Weldon flat on shank - seats directly in precision collet chucks

Compatibility

Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium workpieces (workpiece material codes P, M, K, N, S). Designed for use in standard milling machine setups accepting a 3/16 inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist using a collet or end mill holder rated for the 3/16 inch shank diameter. Confirm runout on the collet before cutting to maintain slot width tolerance. Power down the milling machine spindle completely before tool changes. Do not exceed the tool manufacturer's recommended surface footage for the workpiece material being cut.
