Value Collection C2200810 Woodruff Keyseat Cutter

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C2200810 is a Woodruff keyseat cutter designed for milling the semicircular keyway slots used in shaft-and-hub assemblies. Built from M42 cobalt high-speed steel, it delivers reliable cutting performance in tough workpiece materials. The staggered tooth configuration reduces vibration and chatter during the cut, producing a cleaner slot finish. With a 1.25-inch cut diameter, a 0.25-inch cut width, and a 1/2-inch shank, this cutter mounts directly in standard milling machine arbors or end mill holders. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this cutter when cutting Woodruff keyseats to ANSI 810 specifications on shafts, pulleys, and gear hubs.

This cutter is suited for use on manual knee mills and CNC vertical machining centers wherever a Woodruff keyseat is required. It conforms to ANSI Standard 810 and corresponds to Old Standard Number 21, making it a direct drop-in for shops sourcing to legacy print callouts. The bright uncoated finish means the cutter can be reground when dull without a coating to remove first. Typical applications include shaft keyway work in general machining, repair shops, and production environments handling steel, cast iron, and aluminum components.

Key Features

• M42 cobalt construction for increased heat and wear resistance over standard M2 HSS
• Staggered tooth geometry reduces cutting forces and improves slot surface finish
• Conforms to ANSI Standard 810 and Old Standard Number 21 for drop-in print compliance
• Bright uncoated finish allows straightforward regrinding to extend tool life
• 14 teeth provide a balanced combination of chip clearance and cut smoothness
• 1/2-inch shank diameter fits standard milling arbors and end mill holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Woodruff keyseat cutter conforming to ANSI 810 and Old Standard 21 specifications, suitable for use in manual and CNC milling machines accepting a 1/2-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists on milling machines. Power down and lock out the spindle before mounting or removing the cutter. Secure the shank fully within the holder and confirm runout before engaging the workpiece. Feed rates and spindle speeds should be selected based on workpiece material hardness and machine rigidity per standard machining references.
