Step Machine Key Stock
When a keyway is damaged, cut a new, wider one. This key stock is stepped to match repaired keyways in shafts or gears. Cut it to length to create the machine key you need.
Steel key stock is an economical choice with good strength. 18-8 stainless steel key stock offers a balance of strength and corrosion resistance. It may be mildly magnetic.
Slightly larger than the size listed in the table, oversized stock fits tightly in a keyway. Press it into place for use in high-torque applications or to replace a key in a worn keyway. Slightly smaller than the size listed in the table, undersized stock is the choice when you need a slightly looser fit or when you have an inconsistent keyway.
