Woodruff keyslot Milling Cutter with Parallel Shank

+91-8777212335

Short Description

Woodruff Keyslot Milling Cutters with Parallel Shank are specially designed for machining semi-circular keyseats in shafts to accommodate Woodruff keys. Unlike conventional slotting cutters, these tools feature peripheral cutting edges with relieved side faces, enabling them to produce the characteristic curved keyseat profile required for secure torque transmission between shafts and mating components.


The parallel shank design ensures secure clamping in collets and end mill holders, making these cutters suitable for both CNC and conventional milling machines. They are widely used in the manufacture of gears, pulleys, sprockets, couplings, pumps, electric motors, and transmission assemblies where accurate keyseat machining is essential.
