Value Collection C1100807 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1100807 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers a 0.875 inch cut diameter and a 0.25 inch cut width. The 1/2 inch shank mounts directly into standard milling machine or toolholder collets. With 10 straight teeth arranged around the periphery, this cutter produces clean, accurate keyseats conforming to ANSI Standard 807, Old Standard A. It is suited for general-purpose machining on steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals.

This cutter is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments where shaft-to-hub keyway fitment is required. Typical applications include preparing shafts for Woodruff keys on motors, pumps, gearboxes, and power transmission assemblies. The straight-tooth geometry makes it effective on manual knee mills and CNC vertical machining centers alike. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals are the primary installers. It is sold individually and carries an overall length of 2.25 inches.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 807 Old Standard A Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard milling machine setups requiring a 0.875 inch diameter by 0.25 inch wide keyseat profile.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and operated by qualified machinists on vertical milling machines or equivalent equipment. Secure the shank fully in a collet or toolholder and confirm runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the spindle before changing cutters. Feed rate and spindle speed should be selected according to workpiece material and standard HSS cutting data tables — do not exceed the cutter manufacturer's recommended parameters for the material being machined.
