Value Collection C11001009 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C11001009 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semi-circular keyseats found in shafts and hubs used across mechanical power transmission assemblies. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features a 1.125-inch cut diameter and a 0.3125-inch cut width, making it suitable for standard Woodruff key slots. The straight-tooth configuration and 12-tooth count provide controlled material removal and consistent slot geometry. With a 1/2-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.3125 inches, it mounts directly in standard milling machine arbors or chucks used in machine shop and maintenance environments.

This cutter is sized to ANSI standard 1009 (Old Standard C) and is used in horizontal and vertical milling operations where Woodruff keyseats must be cut to precise dimensional tolerances. Typical applications include shaft keyway preparation in pump, motor, gearbox, and general machinery maintenance work. It is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and toolroom technicians working with standard milling equipment.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 1009 (Old Standard C) Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard horizontal and vertical milling machines accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter tool.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance mechanics using properly maintained milling equipment. Ensure the milling machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or changing cutters. Secure the 1/2-inch shank firmly in the arbor or chuck to the machine manufacturer's specified holding method before engaging the workpiece. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
