Full Radius Solid Carbide Keyseat Cutters

Typically used in metal machining, solid carbide keyseat cutters are milling tools used with CNC machining or conventional machines to cut key slots into parts. Keyseat cutters are run in the spindle of a milling machine while the part is fixtured to the table of the machine. Used for manufacturing and production, keyseat cutters offer an inexpensive groove-cutting method.

Production Benefits of Keyseat Cutters


Keyseat cutters, called keyway cutters and Woodruff cutters, are machining production cutting tools made from solid carbide. Solid carbide offers longevity, producing more parts before the need for resharpening. Additionally, carbide is versatile for material production. Materials used in CNC machine production have different requirements. Still, solid carbide is an effective tool material compatible with producing quality keyseats in various materials, like plastics and metals, hard or soft.


Since precision is critical to production in varying industries, full radius keyway cutters offer precision cuts down to fractions of an inch. Due to their use in CNC machining, they provide a fast and efficient method of groove-cutting that is also cost-effective. Industries that benefit from the cost-conscious, precise production capabilities of solid carbide keyseat cutters include the following:
  • Aerospace
  • Medical
  • Gas & Oil
  • Automotive
  • Industrial Manufacturing
