T Slot Milling

Carbide-Tipped T-Slot End Mills Made of carbide-tipped steel, these end mills maintain a sharper, harder edge at high temperatures than high-speed steel. Use them to create slots in machine tool tables, indexing tables, and other workholding surfaces. T-Slot End Mills can easily cut accurate keyways & T-slots in the tables and beds of machine tools and similar applications. A vertical slot must be milled first, so that the neck and shank can enter the cut. Also known as Woodruff keyseat cutters, these tools mill precise notches in rotary shafts and can also be used for slot milling.

A vertical slot must be milled first, so that the neck and shank can enter the cut. T-Slot Cutters have a positive radial and axial rake, with a straight tooth design or staggered side cutting teeth for better chip clearance. Woodruff keyseat cutters were originally designed to mill standard Woodruff keyseats, but can be used to mill slots with a finish comparable to ground surfaces.
