Tool construction and application limits
The 13.5x4.0 mm T-slot cutter per DIN 850 A cuts a Woodruff keyseat with a single plunge of the disc. It is listed in catalogs as NFRh; the Ø13.5 mm disc, 4.0 mm thick, enters the shaft radially, forming the slot without travel along the axis or tool overtravel.
Six straight cutting edges work around the disc periphery and on both faces. The neck behind the disc has no cutting edges yet transmits all the cutting torque – the cutter must therefore be plunged radially only; axial entry, as with a drill, breaks the neck.
Two standards, two applications: DIN 850 describes cutters for Woodruff keyseats per DIN 6888, DIN 851 cutters for T-slots per DIN 650. The common trade name covers both types, so the standard number determines which tool to order.
Selecting the tool to match the key size
The Ø13.5 mm cutter cuts a slot with a diameter of 13 mm for a Woodruff key 4x5 per DIN 6888. The extra 0.5 mm is the slot tolerance zone specified by the standard. The keyseat depth in the shaft is 3.5 mm in series A and 4.1 mm in series B. The standard assigns this key to shaft ends Ø10–12 mm, when it transmits torque, and Ø17–22 mm, when torque is transmitted through another connection and the key only locates the angular position.
Clamping: collet ER-32 with an insert for Ø12.0 mm. The plain straight shank has no clamping flat – with the disc fully engaged, a drill chuck can release the tool and ruin the slot. Uncoated HSS works up to approximately 275 HB; above this, use the HSSE (HSS-Co5) version.

| Workpiece material | vc [m/min] | fz [mm/tooth] | n [rpm] | vf [mm/min] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P Structural steel up to 275 HB | 20–30 | 0.023–0.038 | 472–707 | 65–161 |
| P Quenched and tempered alloy steel | 15–25 | 0.023–0.038 | 354–589 | 49–134 |
| M Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 9–18 | 0.023–0.043 | 212–424 | 29–109 |

| N Aluminum, brass | 25–50 | 0.023–0.048 | 589–1179 | 81–340 |
Use vc = 25 m/min. Spindle speed: n = 1000 × 25 / (π × 13.5) ≈ 589 rpm. Feed rate with 6 cutting edges and fz = 0.030 mm: vf = 589 × 0.030 × 6 ≈ 106 mm/min. The disc cuts across its full width in an enclosed channel, so supply plenty of coolant along the slot to flush out chips.
Selection, clamping and slot dimensions
Woodruff key 4x5 per DIN 6888 – a segment with a diameter of 13 mm and a width of 4.0 mm.
collet ER-32 with an insert for Ø12.0 mm. A drill chuck will not hold the tool with the disc fully engaged.
No. T-slots per DIN 650 are cut with cutters DIN 851 – type NFRs in our range, for example T-slot cutter NFRs 18x8 DIN 851.
No. The neck behind the disc has no cutting edges and does not cut – axial entry breaks it. Feed the disc radially into the material, slowly and with coolant.
