If you’re in the machining world, you’ve undoubtedly come across the term “spline.” A crucial part of many mechanical systems, splines come in different types and sizes, each serving a unique purpose. This can be confusing, especially when trying to get a precise quote for a spline broach tool. At CNC Broach Tools, we’ve noticed that inquiries for broach quotes can often be somewhat vague, mainly due to a misunderstanding of spline types and characteristics.
Let’s clear up some of the confusion.
What is a Spline?
A spline is a mechanical component designed to transmit torque between the shaft and the hub or other similar parts of a machine. It is characterized by evenly spaced grooves cut into its surface.

What We Need from You
When requesting a quote for a spline broach tool, it’s crucial to supply specific details about the type of spline you need to cut. This could be an involute spline, a simple serration, or a straight tooth spline. Including the particular spline specification can help us quickly reference all the necessary dimensions, greatly streamlining the quoting process. However, if the spline doesn’t adhere to a listed specification, or if the standard isn’t readily available, we’ll need additional information about the features of your spline. Providing us with this comprehensive set of information ensures that we can give you the most accurate quote and the optimal broach tool for your specific machining needs:
In addition to the requirements above, the items below can also help us verify the spline is not a modified standard:
By ensuring that you include these details in your request, you allow us to provide you with the most suitable broach tool, tailored to your needs. Feel free to reach out to our expert team if you have any questions or need assistance with your request.
Providing a Print of your desired product with these details is the most effective way for us to give you an accurate quote. However, we understand this may not always be feasible. In those cases, providing as many of the above details as possible will ensure a more accurate and faster quote.
If you have an unknown spline that you’d like to reproduce but lack the specific details, don’t worry – CNC Broach Tool can still assist you. We offer a reverse engineering service for $250. By shipping us your part, we can reverse engineer the spline using our state-of-the-art measuring equipment. After this, we’ll provide you with a DXF file of the spline and a quote for the tooling needed to broach it. This service allows us to recreate even the most intricate splines, ensuring that you get the exact tooling you need. Interested in learning more?
