Why Are Woodruff Cutters Vital in Modern Machining Processes?
Woodruff cutters are a specialised type of milling tool used to machine Woodruff keyseats into shafts. These tools allow for the creation of a semi-circular keyway that securely holds a Woodruff key. This key ensures the precise positioning of components like gears or pulleys and prevents movement along the shaft. Their consistent precision and unique cutting profile make them essential in various sectors demanding mechanical reliability. Used widely in automotive, aerospace,
