Value Collection C2200406 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter 10T Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2200406 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semicircular keyseats into shafts and mating components in precision machining applications. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, this cutter delivers heat and wear resistance suited to harder workpiece materials where standard HSS tooling falls short. It carries a 0.75 inch cut diameter and a 0.125 inch cut width, with a staggered-tooth configuration across 10 teeth for smoother cutting action and reduced chatter. The 0.5 inch shank diameter provides rigid tool holding in standard milling chucks and arbors. This cutter ships bright and uncoated. It is intended for machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC milling machines.

This cutter is appropriate for general-purpose keyseat work in job shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments requiring ANSI 406 standard geometry. The staggered tooth design makes it well suited for interrupted cuts and slotting in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Overall length of 2.125 inches allows adequate reach for most standard shaft keyseat depths without sacrificing rigidity. It conforms to ANSI standard number 406 and Old Standard Number 7, making it a direct fit where either designation is called out on engineering drawings.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for extended tool life in hard or abrasive materials
• Staggered tooth configuration across 10 teeth reduces chatter and improves surface finish
• 0.75 inch cut diameter and 0.125 inch cut width conform to ANSI 406 geometry
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and coolant applications
• 0.5 inch shank fits standard milling machine tool holders and arbors
• Meets ANSI 406 and Old Standard Number 7 specifications for drop-in drawing compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI 406 standard Woodruff keyseat cutter for use in milling machines accepting a 0.5 inch shank. Conforms to Old Standard Number 7 where that designation is referenced on engineering drawings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with milling machine operation and tooling setup. Secure the shank fully in a collet chuck or arbor and verify runout before cutting. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing or adjusting tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material and observe manufacturer feed and speed recommendations for cobalt HSS tooling.
