Value Collection C11001010 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C11001010 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features a straight tooth configuration and cuts to a diameter of 1.25 inches with a cutting width of 0.3125 inches. The 1/2 inch shank diameter fits standard milling machine collets and arbors. With 14 teeth and an overall length of 2.3125 inches, it delivers clean, accurate keyseat profiles in a single pass. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users. It meets ANSI standard 1010 and is also referenced under the old standard designation D.

This cutter is suited for general machining operations where Woodruff keys are used to secure rotating components such as gears, pulleys, and sprockets to shafts. It is appropriate for use in job shops, maintenance machining environments, and production settings where shaft-to-hub keyed connections are required. The straight tooth design performs well in both manual knee mills and CNC vertical machining centers when consistent keyseat depth and width are needed.

Key Features

• 1.25 inches cut diameter sized to ANSI 1010 standard for direct Woodruff key fitment
• 0.3125 inches cutting width matches 5/16 inch Woodruff key stock
• High speed steel construction provides good wear resistance in steel and aluminum workpieces
• Straight tooth configuration for clean cutting action and easy chip clearance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• 14 teeth for smooth finish on keyseat walls and floor

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 1010 standard Woodruff keyseat cutter, compatible with 1/2 inch diameter shank arbors and collets on standard vertical milling machines. Also cataloged under old standard designation D for legacy reference.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist on a vertical or horizontal milling machine. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting to prevent movement during the keyseat operation. Set spindle speed appropriate to the workpiece material and cutter diameter per standard machining data references. Inspect the cutter for edge wear before use and do not exceed the rated cutting width in a single plunge.
