Tool construction and application limits
The 28.5x8.0 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 Ø28.5 mm disc, 8.0 mm thick, enters the shaft radially, forming the slot without travel along the axis or tool overtravel.
The disc's six straight cutting edges cut around the periphery and on the faces. The neck between the disc and shank has no cutting edges and carries the entire load, so plunging too quickly breaks it before the cutting edges chip. Plunge slowly and smoothly.
The trade name confuses two different tools. This cutter works in the shaft and produces a keyseat per DIN 6888. A T-slot in a machine tool table, per DIN 650, requires a cutter DIN 851 with different disc geometry and a thicker neck.
Selecting the tool to match the key size
The slot produced by this cutter has a diameter of 28 mm and accepts a Woodruff key 8x11 per DIN 6888; the 0.5 mm difference between the tool and the slot falls within the standard's tolerance zone. Plunge the disc to 8.2 mm for series A or 9.5 mm for series B. The standard assigns this key to shaft ends Ø22–30 mm, when it transmits torque, and Øover 38 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.
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 | 223–335 | 33–100 |
| P Quenched and tempered alloy steel | 15–25 | 0.025–0.050 | 168–279 | 25–84 |
| M Stainless steel 304 / 316 | 9–18 | 0.025–0.048 | 101–201 | 15–58 |
| K Gray cast iron | 18–30 | 0.025–0.060 | 201–335 | 30–121 |
| N Aluminum, brass | 25–50 | 0.025–0.065 | 279–558 | 42–218 |
Use vc = 25 m/min. Spindle speed: n = 1000 × 25 / (π × 28.5) ≈ 279 rpm. Feed rate with 6 cutting edges and fz = 0.035 mm: vf = 279 × 0.035 × 6 ≈ 59 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 8x11 per DIN 6888 – a segment with a diameter of 28 mm and a width of 8.0 mm.
collet ER-32 with an insert for Ø12.0 mm. A drill chuck will not hold the tool with the disc fully engaged.
To 8.2 mm in series A or 9.5 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.
Six. The number of cutting edges directly enters the feed rate calculation: vf = fz × z × n. At the same spindle speed, a tool with 6 cutting edges runs at a lower feed rate than one with 10 cutting edges, but each edge takes a thicker chip.
