Keyseat cutters, also known as Woodruff cutters, are multi-purpose milling tools designed to cut keyseats and keyways into shafts, to provide positive engagement between mating keyed parts, and prevent assembled components from rotating independently of the shaft. Keyseat cutters can also be used in undercutting operations, or to efficiently create slots in a part. 

 

These solid carbide straight tooth keyseat cutters feature an uncoated finish, and are suitable for milling most ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

 

APPLICATIONS:

• Keyseat and keyway cutting
• Undercutting
• Slotting

 

TIPS:

• Use thicker shank cutters for more strength
• Match cutter width to slot width 
• Take shallow depths of cut
