Value Collection 79-1895 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 20mm Solid Carbide

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79-1895 is a solid carbide Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in rotating shafts and mating components. Built from micrograin solid carbide with a bright, uncoated finish, this shank-style cutter features a 20mm cutter diameter and a 1mm cutting width with 10 straight teeth for clean, precise slot profiles. The shank diameter measures 12.70mm and the overall length is 76.50mm, making it a compact and rigid tool suited for CNC machining centers and manual milling machines. It is installed by machinists and toolroom technicians working in precision metalworking applications.

This keyseat cutter is suited for both production and toolroom environments where accurate keyseat geometry is required. Primary workpiece materials include steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium, covering a broad range of common industrial applications. The straight tooth configuration provides stable cutting action well-suited to the narrow slot widths typical of Woodruff keyseat operations. The shank connection type allows direct mounting in standard collet chucks or milling arbors without requiring a Weldon flat setscrew engagement.

Key Features

• Solid micrograin carbide construction for rigidity and wear resistance in hard and abrasive workpiece materials
• 20mm cutter diameter with 1mm cutting width for narrow, precise Woodruff keyseat profiles
• 10 straight teeth for consistent chip formation and slot surface finish
• Compatible with steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and superalloys including titanium
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose dry or light-coolant cutting operations
• Shank connection type with 12.70mm shank diameter for secure collet or chuck mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount shank-style keyseat cutter for use in CNC machining centers and manual knee mills equipped with collet systems or milling chucks accepting a 12.70mm shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by qualified machinists. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before mounting or removing the cutter. Seat the shank fully into the collet or chuck and torque the retention hardware according to the toolholder manufacturer specifications. Confirm runout with a dial indicator before beginning the cut, as excessive runout will accelerate tool wear and degrade slot accuracy.
