Value Collection C11001212 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C11001212 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, it features a straight tooth configuration and cuts to a 1.5-inch diameter with a 0.375-inch cutting width. The 1/2-inch shank diameter provides solid tool holder engagement, and the 16-tooth count delivers clean, consistent chip removal on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool and die workers use this cutter on manual or CNC milling machines wherever a Woodruff key drive connection is required.

This cutter conforms to ANSI standard 1212 (Old Standard G), making it a direct fit for applications that specify this keyseat profile. It is suited for production and maintenance machining in job shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance repair operations. Typical use cases include shaft keyway preparation on motors, gearboxes, and power transmission assemblies where a Woodruff key is specified as the drive interface.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Straight tooth configuration for smooth cutting and positive chip clearance
• 1.5-inch cut diameter and 0.375-inch cut width for ANSI 1212 keyseat profiles
• 16 teeth for consistent finish and controlled material removal rate
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• ANSI 1212 / Old Standard G compliance for specification-driven applications

Compatibility

Conforms to ANSI standard number 1212, Old Standard G. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cutter for any milling setup requiring a Woodruff keyseat cutter to this ANSI profile specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists using a milling machine with an appropriate arbor or collet chuck sized for a 1/2-inch shank. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Verify cutter runout after mounting before beginning the cut.
