Value Collection C1200807 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1200807 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyseats used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features a staggered tooth configuration that reduces cutting forces and improves chip evacuation during the cut. It measures 0.875 inches in cut diameter and 0.25 inches in cut width, with a 0.5-inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.25 inches. The tool conforms to ANSI standard 807, Old Standard A. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this cutter on manual mills and CNC machining centers wherever keyseat work is required.

This cutter is suited for producing Woodruff keyseats in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. The staggered tooth geometry makes it a practical choice for applications where chatter or vibration is a concern, such as light-alloy shafting or close-tolerance fits. At 0.35 pounds, it is compact enough for standard milling arbors and collet toolholding systems that accept a 0.5-inch shank. It is appropriate for job-shop, maintenance, and production environments where standardized Woodruff keyseat profiles are required.

Key Features

• Staggered tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and improves chip flow
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and toughness across a broad range of machinable materials
• Bright, uncoated finish suited for general-purpose milling applications
• Conforms to ANSI 807, Old Standard A for standardized keyseat profiles
• 10-tooth cutter for consistent finish in semicircular keyseat slots
• 0.5-inch shank diameter is compatible with common collet and arbor toolholding systems

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or direct-use Woodruff keyseat cutter for milling machines accepting a 0.5-inch shank, conforming to ANSI 807 Old Standard A keyseat profiles.

Installation Notes

This tool is installed by machinists on vertical or horizontal milling machines using a collet, end-mill holder, or arbor rated for a 0.5-inch shank. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before loading or removing the cutter. Secure the shank to the full recommended engagement depth in the toolholder before cutting. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed and feed rate selection based on workpiece material.
