Value Collection C1100607 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100607 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components. Built to ANSI Standard 607 (Old Standard 11), this cutter features a straight-tooth configuration and an uncoated high speed steel (HSS) body. It cuts a 0.875-inch diameter profile at a width of 0.1875 inches, making it a direct-fit option for applications requiring a standard 3/16-inch wide Woodruff key slot. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this cutter on manual mills and CNC machining centers where precise keyseat geometry is required.

This cutter is suited for general metalworking applications in job shops, production machining environments, and maintenance shops. It is used to produce keyseat slots in ferrous and non-ferrous shaft stock where a Woodruff key will be seated to transmit torque between a shaft and hub. The straight-tooth design provides clean, efficient cuts in a variety of workpiece materials. With a 1/2-inch shank diameter and a 2.1875-inch overall length, it mounts directly to standard milling arbors and collet holders without adapters in most setups.

Key Features

• ANSI Standard 607 compliant, Old Standard Number 11 — ensures dimensional conformance for keyseat fit
• High speed steel construction — suitable for cutting mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece materials
• Straight-tooth configuration with 10 teeth — provides consistent chip evacuation and smooth cutting action
• Bright/uncoated finish — ready for use as-received with no post-processing required
• 0.875-inch cut diameter and 0.1875-inch cut width — produces a standard 3/16-inch wide Woodruff keyseat
• 1/2-inch shank diameter — compatible with standard milling machine arbors and collet systems

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 607 standard Woodruff keyseat cutter for use on horizontal and vertical milling machines equipped with a 1/2-inch arbor or collet. Suitable for producing keyseat slots that accept standard Woodruff keys in shaft-and-hub assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine setup and cutter arbor mounting procedures. Secure the shank fully in the arbor or collet before beginning any cut, and confirm runout is within acceptable limits before engaging the workpiece. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing cutters. Feed rates and spindle speeds should be selected based on the workpiece material and machine specifications — do not exceed the rated limits for HSS tooling in the material being cut.
