What is CNC Broach Tools and what does the company sell?

CNC Broach Tools is a company that sells inserted broach tools designed to cut internal keyways on CNC lathes and mills. The company’s tools allow machinists to broach internal keyways, both through and blind, directly on their own machining centers. This eliminates the need to transfer parts to a separate broaching machine, outsource the operation, or use EDM to create the keyway.

At the core of the company’s offering are its keyway broaching tools. These inserted broach tools enable a CNC lathe or mill to cut internal keyways as part of the normal machining process. By making broaching possible on the same machine that produces the rest of the part, CNC Broach Tools helps shops finish parts complete in one location, streamlining production and saving time.

The company’s tools use carbide inserts with two cutting edges. These inserts are TiN coated carbide, and they are both indexable and re grindable. This means that each insert offers two cutting edges and can be re ground multiple times, providing extended use and value. The insert design is central to the durability and performance of the company’s tooling.

A key feature of the company’s design is the quick change insert system. The quick change insert keeps the broach tool on center in the machine, and inserts can be changed without removing the tool from the holder. This design supports efficient operation and helps maintain accuracy throughout production runs, an important consideration for demanding keyway broaching work.

Beyond keyway broaching tools, CNC Broach Tools also offers spline broaching tools and spur gear cutting inserts. These products extend the company’s capabilities beyond keyways, allowing machinists to finish splines and other features in their own CNC machines. This broader range supports shops looking to complete more operations in house rather than subcontracting.

The company emphasizes that its broach tool design is proven to stand up to long production runs in demanding materials. Keyway broaching is one of the most demanding operations in machining, and the company’s design is built to withstand the forces involved. With clients around the world, the tooling has demonstrated its reliability across a wide range of applications and materials.

CNC Broach Tools offers what it describes as an off the shelf solution for the CNC broaching of standard internal keyways. This means that for many common keyway sizes, customers can obtain proven tooling designed to work right away. The company also offers custom inserts, such as spur gear cutting inserts, which ship in three weeks for more specialized requirements.

For machinists and manufacturers seeking to broach internal keyways, splines, and gears on their own CNC equipment, CNC Broach Tools offers a comprehensive range of inserted broach tools. The company’s proven, durable designs help shops save time and money by keeping operations in house.
