Value Collection C1100606 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100606 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyseats used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. It features a 0.75 inch cut diameter, a 0.1875 inch cutting width, and a 1/2 inch shank diameter, making it a standard ANSI 606 tool suited for precision keyseat work on milling machines. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it carries 10 straight teeth for clean, consistent cuts. The overall length is 2.1875 inches. This cutter is installed by machinists and tool and die professionals working on shafting, sprockets, gears, and similar keyed components.

This Woodruff keyseat cutter is used in both manual and CNC milling applications where a standardized keyseat profile is required. It conforms to ANSI standard number 606 and old standard number 9, making it a recognized replacement option in shops that reference legacy tooling charts. Typical applications include shaft keyseating in light manufacturing, maintenance machining, and tool room environments. The straight-tooth configuration suits conventional milling operations where climb milling is not required.

Key Features

• ANSI 606 standard designation, also listed as Old Standard Number 9
• 0.75 inch cut diameter and 0.1875 inch cutting width for precise keyseat sizing
• 10 straight teeth for consistent chip formation and surface finish
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of work materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose machining
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for compatibility with standard milling machine collets and arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 606 Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard milling machine setups that accept a 1/2 inch shank diameter; consult tooling charts for specific keyseat and shaft size compatibility.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed by machinists using milling machines equipped with an appropriate collet or arbor sized for a 1/2 inch shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before changing tooling. Secure the shank fully in the collet and confirm runout before cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
