Value Collection C11001210 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C11001210 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyseats used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features 14 straight teeth and conforms to ANSI standard 1210 (Old Standard E). It is sized at 1.25 inches in cutting diameter and 0.375 inches in cutting width, making it a standard choice for precision keyway work on lathes and milling machines. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals rely on this cutter for clean, repeatable keyseat profiles in steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

This cutter is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where shaft keyseats must be machined to ANSI tolerances. The 1/2-inch shank diameter accommodates standard milling machine collets and arbors. With a 2.375-inch overall length, it provides adequate reach for typical keyseat depth requirements in both manual and CNC milling setups. Applications include power transmission component manufacturing, equipment rebuilding, and precision repair work.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 1210 (Old Standard E) Woodruff keyseat cutter suitable for use in milling machines and lathes equipped with a 1/2-inch shank collet or arbor.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine operation and cutter safety practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the shank firmly in the collet or arbor to the machine manufacturer's specifications before engaging a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend cutter life and improve surface finish.
