I'm looking for endmills that are sort of shaped like a woodruff key
cutter. That is an endmill with a smaller shank than the cutting edges. One with something like a 1/2 inch shank and a 3/4" diameter cutter. is there a name for for this type of endmill? Know of a source? I need to cut shallow slots in a side wall of a big slot, if that makes sense. Karl |

Karl Townsend asked:
That is an endmill with a smaller shank than the cutting edges. One with something like a 1/2 inch shank and a 3/4" diameter cutter. is there a name for for this type of endmill? Karl, I call them "end mills". The cutting body can be any length, and any reasonable diameter -- it's not dependent upon the shank diameter, except the shank has to be large enough to take the maximum cutting loads of the bit. I have a fairly large collection of endmills with larger cutting diameters than their shanks -- like 1" diameter cut with a 1/2" shank. But it really sounds like you're looking for 'slotting cutters', and a woodruff key cutter is one form. Check out www.msc-direct.com, and search for "slotting cutter". Don't buy one there, just look. The prices are out of sight. LLoyd |

Gunner Asch A fair bit of metal to remove: the slot is 0.100 deep, .800 wide and 2.0" long on the side wall of a big slot in 4140. Two per part, 25 or more parts. I know a woodruff would never hold up. I see they make indexable T slot cutters, I'm watching eBay now. Karl |

Karl I grab every one I see in the second-hand bins because the straight-tooth ones are easily sharpened and they cut smoother key slots in shafts than 1/8" endmills do. Several appear to be custom-modified from something else. They are thinner than T slot cutters and of larger diameter than Woodruffs, more like a slitting saw or side milling cutter on a shaft. Two were made by B&S and Pratt&Whitney. I've never seen them in catalogs. jsw |
