Value Collection C2100505 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2100505 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling Woodruff key slots in shafts and other machined components. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers strong wear resistance and heat resistance in demanding cutting applications. The cutter measures 0.625 inches in diameter with a cutting width of 0.1563 inches and mounts on a 1/2-inch shank. Overall length is 2.1563 inches. The straight-tooth configuration and 8-tooth count provide clean, controlled cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general-purpose shop use.

This keyseat cutter is suited for manual milling machines and CNC machining centers where Woodruff keyway slots are required during shaft fitting and assembly operations. It conforms to ANSI Standard 505 (Old Standard 6), making it a direct fit for shops working to standard Woodruff key specifications. Typical applications include maintenance machining, toolroom work, and production setups in metalworking, automotive, and industrial equipment repair environments.
