Value Collection C1100605 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100605 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and mechanical components. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features a 0.625 inch cut diameter and a 0.1875 inch cut width, making it suited for precision slotting work in metalworking and machining applications. The straight tooth configuration delivers clean, accurate cuts. With an overall length of 2.1875 inches and an 8-tooth design, it provides stable cutting action under typical milling conditions. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter in horizontal or vertical milling machines to produce Woodruff keyseats per ANSI 605 standards.

This cutter is used in general machining environments where standard Woodruff keyseat slots are required on shafts, hubs, and similar components. It conforms to ANSI Standard Number 605 and Old Standard Number 61, making it a direct fit for applications that call out these specifications. The 1/2 inch shank diameter accommodates standard milling machine arbors and collet holders used in both job shop and production machining settings.

Compatibility

Conforms to ANSI Standard Number 605 and Old Standard Number 61. Designed for use with standard 1/2 inch shank milling machine arbors and collet systems in horizontal or vertical milling machine setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on horizontal or vertical milling machines. Secure the 1/2 inch shank firmly in the arbor or collet holder before beginning any cut. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain cut quality.
