Defense COTS Tooling

Defense COTS CNC Broaching Tooling: Immediate GPC Procurement

Single-Op Machining for the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) | Micro-Purchase Eligible

CNC Broach Tool LLC is the premier USA manufacturer of patented, indexable carbide broaching systems. Operating as a Small Business and Non-Traditional Defense Contractor (NDC) , we empower military machine shops, DLA supply chains, and prime contractors to cut internal keyways and involute splines directly on standard CNC lathes and mills.
Designed as a fully Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solution, our tooling allows procurement officers to bypass lengthy National Stock Number (NSN) assignment wait times. Operating entirely without distributors, we sell directly to the end user. This direct-to-warfighter model is heavily optimized for rapid, transactional micro-purchases via Government Purchase Cards (GPCs).

We provide immediate solutions for Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) bottlenecks across the entire defense network:

  • Naval Sea Systems & Submarine Industrial Base (SIB): Rapid SIB component machining and expeditionary fleet repair.
  • Army Organic Industrial Base (OIB): Ground combat vehicle reset, heavy arsenal modernization, and point-of-need machining.
  • Air Force Air Logistics Complexes (ALCs): Overcoming Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMSMS) to reverse-engineer and machine legacy aircraft components, preventing Aircraft On Ground (AOG) scenarios.

Core Defense Machining Capabilities

Single-Operation CNC Broaching Our indexable system completely eliminates the need for specialized secondary operations, such as Wire EDM or dedicated broaching machines. By allowing standard CNC equipment to execute blind and through-splines in a single setup, we drastically compress lead times for critical defense manufacturing.

Unknown Spline Reverse Engineering & TDP Generation We offer a streamlined service for reverse-engineering legacy or undocumented splines often found in aging surface fleet, ground combat vehicles, and aerospace assets.

  • We scan existing components using a Keyence LM-1100 automated measurement system to capture major/minor diameters and over-pin measurements.
  • We generate a DXF profile overlaid with nominal specifications established by standards like ANSI B92.1.
  • We deliver actionable 3D models, precise DXFs, and comprehensive measurement data to guarantee the exact reproduction of standard and non-standard splines to easily update Technical Data Packages (TDPs).

Free Turnkey Digital Infrastructure To support immediate point-of-need implementation , we provide free online G-code generators and the "CNC Machinist Calculator Ultra" mobile application. These proprietary tools automatically calculate complex incremental step-overs for splines and keyways, allowing machinists to program standard CNC machines instantly.

Strategic Differentiators for Defense Procurement

100% Made in the USA: The only inserted CNC broaching system manufactured entirely in the United States , ensuring total compliance with mandates to reshore the defense industrial base.

Immediate COTS Availability: Stock tooling items ship same-day or next-day, guaranteeing mission readiness for urgent micro-purchase/AOG requirements.

Patented Durability for Defense Alloys: Our proprietary tool geometry (USA Patent #8,622,669,B2) features TiN-coated, dual-edge carbide inserts proven to withstand the severe shock forces of machining Titanium, Inconel, Monel, 4140, and 304 Stainless.

Expeditionary Readiness: Our compact tooling allows forward-deployed “Machine Shops in a Box” to repair battle-damaged splines on standard, lower-rigidity equipment without expanding the logistical footprint.
