Value Collection C1200406 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1200406 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling keyseat slots in shafts and mechanical components. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance in a range of machining applications. The cutter measures 0.75 inches in diameter with a 0.125 inch cutting width and mounts via a 0.5 inch shank. Its staggered-tooth configuration, with 10 teeth total, helps reduce chatter and produce smoother cuts in metal stock. Overall length is 2.125 inches. This tool conforms to ANSI standard 406, also referenced as Old Standard 7.

This keyseat cutter is suited for use in manual milling machines and CNC machining centers where precise keyseat slots are required in shaft work. It is a standard choice for machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians cutting Woodruff key slots in steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The compact 0.75 inch diameter makes it appropriate for moderate-diameter shaft applications in general manufacturing and repair environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 406 (Old Standard 7) Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard milling setups requiring a 0.75 inch diameter, 0.125 inch wide keyseat slot with a 0.5 inch shank connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on manual or CNC milling equipment. Secure the 0.5 inch shank firmly in a compatible collet or arbor before operation and verify runout before cutting. Power down and lock out the machine before changing or inspecting the cutter. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve cut quality.
