Value Collection C2200506 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2200506 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, it delivers strong wear resistance in demanding cutting applications. The cutter features a 0.75 inch cut diameter and a 0.1563 inch cut width, with a staggered-tooth configuration across 10 teeth for improved chip evacuation and reduced chatter. It mounts via a 1/2 inch shank and has an overall length of 2.1563 inches. This tool is intended for use by machinists and tool-and-die professionals working on manual or CNC milling machines.

This keyseat cutter is suited for producing Woodruff keyseats in ferrous and non-ferrous metals in both production shop and maintenance environments. It conforms to ANSI standard number 506, also referenced under old standard number 8. Typical applications include shaft-to-hub keyway work on mechanical power transmission components where precise keyseat geometry is required. The staggered tooth design makes it effective in tougher materials where a straight-tooth cutter would generate excessive heat or vibration.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for elevated heat and wear resistance
• Staggered-tooth configuration with 10 teeth for reduced chatter and improved chip flow
• 0.75 inch cut diameter and 0.1563 inch cut width for precise keyseat geometry
• 1/2 inch shank diameter for standard milling machine and arbor compatibility
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose cutting operations
• Meets ANSI standard 506 (old standard number 8)

Compatibility

Conforms to ANSI standard number 506, old standard number 8. Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter for use on milling machines accepting a 1/2 inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists. Secure the shank firmly in the milling machine arbor or collet before operation and verify runout before taking a cut. Power down and lock out the machine before mounting or removing the cutter. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed ratings for the workpiece material and machine type.
