Value Collection C2200605 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2200605 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling semi-circular keyseats into shafts and mating components. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for cutting steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The staggered tooth configuration reduces chatter and improves chip evacuation during the cut. Key dimensions include a 0.625-inch cut diameter, a 0.1875-inch cut width, and a 0.5-inch shank diameter. Overall length is 2.1875 inches. The cutter meets ANSI Standard 605 (Old Standard 61) and is installed by machinists and tool and die professionals on vertical milling machines.

This cutter is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where Woodruff keyseats are required on shafts for keys and keyways. It is appropriate for horizontal and vertical milling setups where a standard shank arbor mount is used. The 0.625-inch cut diameter and 0.1875-inch cut width correspond to standard Woodruff key sizing, making it a direct fit for applications governed by ANSI keyseat specifications. Eight teeth provide a balance of cutting speed and finish quality for general-purpose keyseat work.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt HSS construction for improved hardness and heat resistance over standard M2 tooling
• Staggered tooth configuration reduces vibration and improves chip clearance
• 0.625-inch cut diameter and 0.1875-inch cut width per ANSI Standard 605
• 0.5-inch shank diameter for standard milling machine or arbor mount
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids on ferrous materials
• 8 teeth for consistent finish and efficient material removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Woodruff keyseat cutter conforming to ANSI 605 (Old Standard 61), compatible with milling machine setups accepting a 0.5-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

This cutter is installed and operated by machinists using vertical or horizontal milling machines. Secure the shank firmly in the arbor or collet chuck and verify runout before cutting. Always apply appropriate cutting fluid when machining ferrous materials to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Inspect the cutter for chipped or worn teeth before each use and do not exceed recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material.
