Value Collection C1100302-1/2 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100302-1/2 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats in shafts and mating components. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 0.3125-inch cut diameter and a 0.0938-inch cutting width, conforming to ANSI standard 302-1/2 (Old Standard 207). The 1/2-inch straight shank mounts directly in standard milling machine collets or arbors. With 6 straight teeth, this cutter produces clean, accurate keyway profiles suited to precision shaft work in industrial and maintenance machining applications.

This cutter is used in horizontal and vertical milling setups where Woodruff keyseats must be cut to ANSI tolerances. It is appropriate for job shops, maintenance machining, and toolroom applications working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The straight-tooth configuration performs well in conventional milling passes on manual knee mills and CNC machining centers equipped with appropriate collet systems. The 2.0938-inch overall length provides adequate clearance for most standard setups.

• Bright, uncoated finish — ready for use as delivered
• Straight-tooth configuration for consistent keyseat profile
• 6 teeth for balanced chip load across the cut
• 1/2-inch straight shank compatible with standard milling collets and arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI-standard Woodruff keyseat cutter conforming to specification 302-1/2, suitable for use in milling machines accepting a 1/2-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist following standard milling machine setup procedures. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized collet or tool holder and confirm runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing or adjusting tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid and feed rates for the workpiece material to avoid premature tool wear.
