Default keyways on a mill..?

The Davenport's wrote:

So, many years ago, I worked at a shop that, among other things, had an
internal keyway cutter that was used on a vertical mill. Used a shaft
that was the same size as the bore of the part and had a small cutter
mounted at the end...the machine spindle provide the power and thru some
bit of magic, the cutter at the other end turned, cutting the internal
keyway.

My problem now is trying to remember the name of this handy little thing
as I may have a job coming up that would REALLY be able to use it,
asopposed to single pointing a .332 wide keyway 6.3" in a 1.024"dia bore.

Thanks gang,

Mike

Key Seating Miller. National Tool used to make them.

For all those of a doubtful disposition:
