Value Collection C1100201 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100201 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating components. It features a 0.25-inch cut diameter and a 0.0625-inch cut width, making it suited for precision work on smaller shafts. The 1/2-inch straight shank mounts directly into standard milling machine collets or chucks. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter delivers reliable performance in general-purpose machining environments. Six straight teeth provide clean, consistent cuts. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this type of cutter.

This cutter is appropriate for use on manual knee mills, CNC machining centers, and horizontal milling machines where Woodruff keyseat operations are required. It conforms to ANSI standard 202 and is also referenced under old standard number 201, which aids in cross-referencing legacy tooling catalogs. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub keyway preparation in light mechanical assemblies, automotive components, and general industrial fabrication work requiring precise keyseat geometry.

Key Features

• 0.25-inch cut diameter and 0.0625-inch cut width for small-shaft keyseat milling
• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in general-purpose machining
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Six straight teeth for clean, consistent material removal
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard milling collets and chucks
• Conforms to ANSI 202; cross-references old standard number 201

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter conforming to ANSI 202, suitable for use in manual and CNC milling machines equipped with a 1/2-inch collet or chuck.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and operated by machinists using standard milling machine setups. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or chuck and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting cutters. Use appropriate cutting fluid for HSS tooling to extend tool life and maintain cut quality.
