Value Collection C2100305 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2100305 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for cutting keyseat slots in shafts and bores. It features a 0.625 inch cut diameter and a 0.0938 inch cut width, making it suited for precise slot milling operations. The cutter is manufactured from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, offering improved hardness and heat resistance compared to standard M2 tooling. The bright, uncoated finish is retained to preserve the base material properties. With a 0.5 inch shank diameter and a 2.0938 inch overall length, it mounts directly into standard milling machine arbors or collet holders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use this cutter for shaft keyway preparation on manual and CNC milling equipment.

This cutter conforms to ANSI Standard 305, Old Standard Number 4, making it a recognized size within standard keyseat cutter series. It is appropriate for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where shaft-to-hub keyway fits are required. The straight tooth configuration provides clean, consistent cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Eight teeth deliver a balance of chip clearance and cutting edge engagement suitable for moderate feed rates and typical keyseat depth requirements.
