Value Collection C1200102 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1200102 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyseats used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a staggered tooth configuration that helps reduce chatter and improve chip evacuation during the cut. The cutter measures 1.5 inches in diameter with a 0.3125 inch cutting width and mounts on a 1/2 inch shank. With 12 teeth and a 2.3125 inch overall length, it is suited for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on keyed shaft applications in both production and job-shop environments.

This cutter is used in horizontal or vertical milling operations where a standard Woodruff keyseat must be produced in a shaft. It conforms to ANSI Standard 1012 (Old Standard 25), making it a recognized size for replacement or new work in industries such as power transmission, automotive, and general manufacturing. The staggered tooth geometry makes it a practical choice when cutting deeper keyseats or working in tougher materials where a straight-tooth cutter would generate excessive vibration.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or new-installation cutter for milling operations requiring an ANSI 1012 Woodruff keyseat profile on 1/2 inch shank arbors.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on horizontal or vertical milling machines. Secure the cutter firmly on a compatible arbor and verify runout before beginning the cut. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Follow applicable shop safety standards and use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material.
