Cleveland C41678 Keyway End Mill
The Cleveland C41678 is a two-flute high-speed steel keyway end mill designed for precision milling of standard keyway slots. Its center-cutting geometry allows direct plunge cuts into the workpiece, making it suitable for machinists and maintenance technicians producing keyways in shafts or hubs.
Installation and Common Issues
The tool installs directly into a standard end mill holder or collet chuck sized for the shank, requiring secure clamping to prevent pull-out during cutting. Common issues include premature wear when run without adequate coolant or lubrication, and chatter or poor finish if the tool holder lacks rigidity or the workpiece is not firmly fixtured.
Pre-Order Compatibility Checks
Verify that your milling machine spindle accepts the tool shank diameter and that the holder or collet provides sufficient grip length for the overall tool length. Confirm the machine can deliver the appropriate speed range for high-speed steel in your workpiece material and that the 9/16 inch length of cut meets the required slot depth.
