What is a Full Radius Keyseat Cutter?
Full radius keyseat cutters are specialized milling tools designed to create semi-circular keyseats within shafts or bores. These keyseats have a rounded bottom profile, offering several advantages:
Easier Machining: Rounded profiles can often be cut without sharp corner transitions, simplifying the machining process.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Application
The optimal material for a full radius keyseat cutter depends on factors such as:
Commonly Used Materials
High-Speed Steels (HSS):
Cobalt High-Speed Steels:
Tungsten Carbide:
Grades: Various carbide grades with differing properties. Keyseat cutters often use tougher, less brittle grades for shock resistance.
Benefits: Exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature performance. Ideal for cutting very hard materials and demanding applications.
Limitations: Higher cost and can be more brittle than HSS, requiring careful handling.
