Value Collection C2100607 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2100607 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this cutter delivers strong wear resistance in demanding machining operations. It features a 0.875 inch cut diameter, a 0.1875 inch cut width, and a 1/2 inch shank diameter, with a 2.1875 inch overall length and 10 straight teeth. Conforming to ANSI standard 607 (Old Standard 11), it fits standard horizontal or vertical milling machine arbors. Machinists and tool and die professionals use this cutter for precision keyseat work in both production and maintenance environments.

This cutter is suited for cutting Woodruff keyseats in steel, aluminum, and similar materials on manual or CNC milling machines. The straight tooth configuration produces clean, consistent cuts in shallow-depth keyseat profiles. It is a practical choice for job shop machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom setups that require an ANSI-standardized keyseat cutter at a common shaft-keying size.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 607-compliant Woodruff keyseat cutter compatible with standard 1/2 inch shank milling arbors used in horizontal and vertical milling machine setups.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on milling machines equipped with the appropriate arbor or collet for a 1/2 inch shank. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is locked out before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the shank firmly in the arbor or collet to the machine manufacturer's specified clamping procedure. Inspect the cutter for chips or damage before each use and apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material.
