Tool construction and application limits
The 19.5x4.0 mm DIN 850 A T-slot cutter is a shank-type tool for Woodruff keyseats in shafts, listed in catalogs under the designation NFRh. The Ø19.5 mm disc, 4.0 mm thick, plunges radially into the shaft and produces an arcuate-bottom slot in a single pass, without longitudinal milling.
The disc has six straight cutting edges around its periphery and also cuts on both faces. Behind it is a neck without cutting edges that transmits all the torque – this is the weakest part of the tool, and it, rather than the cutting edges, limits the permissible feed.
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 tool matches a Woodruff key 4x7.5 per DIN 6888 – the slot diameter in the shaft is 19 mm, and the remaining 0.5 mm of cutter diameter accounts for the slot tolerance zone. Plunge depth: 6.0 mm in series A, 6.6 mm in series B. The standard specifies this key size for shaft ends Ø17–22 mm, where torque is transmitted by another element – a taper or shrink fit – and the key 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.
Conservative values by ISO 513 groups
| Workpiece material | vc [m/min] | fz [mm/tooth] | n [rpm] | vf [mm/min] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P Structural steel up to 275 HB | 20–30 | 0.025–0.050 | 326–490 | 49–147 |
| P Quenched and tempered alloy steel | 15–25 | 0.025–0.050 | 245–408 | 37–122 |
| M Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 9–18 | 0.025–0.048 | 147–294 | 22–85 |
| K Gray cast iron | 18–30 | 0.025–0.060 | 294–490 | 44–176 |
| N Aluminum, brass | 25–50 | 0.025–0.065 | 408–816 | 61–318 |
Starting point: vc = 25 m/min. The formula n = 1000 × vc / (π × D) gives 408 rpm, and the feed rate at fz = 0.035 mm with 6 cutting edges is 86 mm/min. Full-width cutting traps chips in the slot – without abundant coolant, they pass back under the cutting edge and chip it.
Selection, clamping and slot dimensions
Woodruff key 4x7.5 per DIN 6888 – a segment with a diameter of 19 mm and a width of 4.0 mm.
To 6.0 mm in series A or 6.6 mm in series B per DIN 6888. Select the series together with the keyway depth in the hub – values from the two series must not be mixed.
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.
Yes, with reduced cutting parameters: vc 9–18 m/min and cooling with an emulsion containing an EP additive. Stainless steel work-hardens under the cutting edge, so maintain a constant feed without dwelling in the slot.
