Keyseat cutters

December 01, 2012

Whitney Tool Co. Inc.’s solid-carbide keyseat cutters are available in diameters from 18" to 1½". The cutters perform many slotting operations, such as circular interpolation in small-diameter holes. They reportedly are rigid and provide long life, often resulting in higher production rates when cutting difficult to machine materials.
