Understanding a keyseat cutter’s radial depth of cut is critical to choosing the correct tool, but understanding how it affects your tool path is necessary for optimal results. While it may be tempting to make a cut using a keyseat cutter’s maximum RDOC, this will result in increased stress on the tool, a worse finish, and potential catastrophic tool failure. It is almost always better to use a lighter depth of cut and make multiple passes (Figure 2).

Very happy with the purchase of the two way cutter & measuring gauges! Both a must have! Makes for an efficient way to get the job done without having to pull out a tape or wear down the brakes metal edge!

The two way cut off tool is absolutely amazing! Anytime you have a tool that you don’t have to remove from the brake to bend makes things so much more efficient.

Selecting and utilizing the right tool is often more complicated than identifying the right diameter and dialing in the speeds and feeds. A keyseat’s strength should be considered carefully, especially in tricky applications and difficult materials.

As with any tool, a longer reach will make this tool more prone to deflection and breakage. A tool with the shortest allowable reach should be used to ensure the strongest tool possible.

When more versatility is required from a keyseat cutter, staggered tooth versions should be considered. The front and back reliefs allow the tools to cut not only on the OD, but also on the front and back of the head. When circumstances do not allow for the use of a cutter width equal to the final slot dimensions as stated above, a staggered tooth tool can move axially in the slot to expand its width.

When in doubt about what RDOC is correct for your tool and application, consider consulting the tool manufacturer’s speeds and feeds. Harvey Tool’s keyseat cutter speeds and feeds take into account your tool dimensions, workpiece material, operation, and more.

Keyseat cutters, also called woodruff cutters, keyway cutters, and T-slot cutters, are a type of cutting tool used frequently by many machinists – some operations are impractical or even impossible without one. If you need one of these tools for your job, it pays to know when and how to pick the right one and how to use it correctly.

Contact from the owner of the company is always sure to make you feel good about a purchase! Aside from a small dent in a corner of one of the joints( which I had to sand down to make it fit right) everything was perfect. Ive used McMaster and tapco for years (not everyday but approx. 10-20 times a year) this brake beats all of them, especially the cutter. Very impressed with the design and modular capabilities. Haven’t done it yet, but being able to break it down in half for easy transport-That’s a game changer. The only thing I can think of as an improvement would be if it was even easier to disassemble in half with some kind of clamping joint ,just in the middle, so you’re not fussing with brackets and screws. That being said- having one man being able to transport instead of two is the ultimate selling point in my opinion.

Facile a utiliser, le bi directionnel est exceptionnel on sauve un temps comparativement au van mark. De plus il ne fais pas de marque sur l’aluminium. Je recommande à tous! Service à la clientèle exceptionnel. J’ai eu un probleme avec les roulettes du couteau et il m’ont repond rapidement et envoyer de nouvelle sans frais. Je recommande innovatools a tous

Thanks to Innovatools we have had them supply us a 4.200 long brake shipped all the way to New Zealand. so easy to put together and so easy to use this is by far the best brake we have to date. works well with the materials that we use. thanks to Innovatools for being so easy to deal with and fast. I would highly recommend this brake. Courtney McDowell New Zealands Coloursteel Corrugated roofer of the year 2023-2024 [****]

Cutter width has an effect on tool strength as well. The greater a keyseat cutter’s cutter width, the more prone to deflection and breakage it is. This is due to the increased forces on the tool – a greater cutter width equates to an increased length of engagement. You should be particularly careful to use the strongest tool possible and a light RDOC when machining with a keyseat cutter with a thick cutter width.

We want to make slots in the face of cast iron rings and NiResist. Contact me please to provide more in formation. This will be in CNC turning center with “Y” axis.

A keyseat cutter’s neck diameter greatly affects its performance. A thinner neck allows for a comparatively larger radial depth of cut (RDOC) and more clearance, but makes for a weaker tool. A thicker neck reduces the cutter’s RDOC, but greatly strengthens the tool overall. When clearances allow, a keyseat cutter with a thicker neck and larger cutter diameter should be chosen over one with a thinner neck and smaller cutter diameter (Figure 1).

Having trouble finding the perfect keyseat for your job? Harvey Tool offers over 2,100 keyseat cutter options, with cutter diameters from 1/16” to 1-1/2” and cutter widths from .010” to ½”. print

Some machinists use keyseat cutters to machine slots greater than their cutter width. This is done with multiple operations so that, for example, a keyseat cutter with a 1/4” cutter width can create a slot that is 3/8” wide. While this is possible and may save on up-front tooling costs, the results are not optimal. Ideally, a keyseat cutter should be used to machine a slot equal to its cutter width as it will result in a faster operation, fewer witness marks, and a better finish (Figure 3).

I am so thankful for this brake! I have been bending open faced downspouts for my commercial customers with 26 and 24 gauge steel and it has worked so well!

Sans aucun doute la meilleure plieuse sur le marcher. En plus c’est Canadien que du positif. Peut etre rendre les videos d’instructions plus clair mais general bien.

I came across innovatools by accident on the web, and was intrigued by the brake, i had never seen this in New Zealand before and wondered why not, i thought maybe it would not cope with our .55 gauge colorsteel we use most commonly, but i soon worked out that was not the case, so i went ahead and ordered the full heavy duty package with all of the add Ons, once we had it set up and folding some flashings i was put at ease, we now have it on one of our sites making custom flashings for skylights and chimneys etc. on a Euro-Tray roof we are installing, this machine is fantastic for the time it saves us, we can now flash as we go, no more waiting a week for a delivery, i could not speak more highly of the products or the after sales service, i can tell that Alex is both passionate and very hands on, well done Alex i look forward to a bright future with your innovations to come. I Highly recommend Innovatools and all that they stand for, Jim

Machining difficult or gummy materials can be tricky, and using a staggered tooth keyseat cutter can help greatly with tool performance. The shear flutes reduce the force needed to cut, as well as leave a superior surface finish by reducing harmonics and chatter.
