Value Collection C1200810 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C1200810 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling Woodruff keyseats in shafts and similar workpieces. Built from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter features a staggered tooth configuration that reduces chatter and promotes smoother cuts during slotting operations. It has a 1.25-inch cutting diameter, a 0.25-inch cutting width, and a 1/2-inch shank diameter. With 14 teeth and a 2.25-inch overall length, it conforms to ANSI Standard 810 (Old Standard 21). Machinists, toolroom operators, and maintenance professionals use this cutter in manual or CNC milling machines where precision keyseat geometry is required.

This cutter is suited for keyseat milling operations in general metalworking, maintenance repair, and production environments. It is commonly used in shaft-to-hub assemblies where a Woodruff key must be retained in a precisely milled seat. The 1/2-inch shank fits standard milling machine arbors and toolholders designed for that shank diameter. Applications include automotive, industrial equipment, and machinery repair where ANSI 810 keyseat dimensions are specified.

Key Features

• Staggered tooth configuration reduces cutting forces and minimizes chatter during slotting
• High speed steel construction provides good wear resistance across a range of workpiece materials
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose keyseat milling
• Conforms to ANSI Standard 810, Old Standard 21 for consistent keyseat geometry
• 14 teeth deliver a balance of material removal rate and surface finish quality
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits common milling machine toolholders and arbors

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 810-compliant Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in standard milling machines and machining centers accepting a 1/2-inch shank diameter arbor or toolholder.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation should be performed by qualified machinists familiar with milling machine setup and cutting tool safety. Secure the shank firmly in the arbor or toolholder and verify runout before cutting. Power down and de-energize the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine manufacturer guidelines for spindle speeds and feed rates appropriate to the workpiece material.
