Did You Know Broaching Tools Are Referred to as Slotting Tools in the EU?
Understanding terminology differences that affect quoting and tooling conversations If you work with international customers, suppliers, or machine tool documentation, you may notice that broaching tools are not always called broaching tools. In many parts of Europe, especially in technical documentation and machine manuals, these tools are often referred to
Can You Broach a Keyway in a Blind Hole?
What makes it possible and what to watch out for Blind holes have always been one of the biggest challenges when it comes to internal keyways. Traditional broaching methods rely on pull-through tools, which require clearance beyond the feature. If the bore stops short, those methods simply do not work.
What Are the Benefits of Broaching In-House?
Cut costs, reduce delays, and take full control of your production process Sending parts out for broaching adds risk, delays, and extra cost to your operation. Shops that bring broaching in-house don’t just save time. They improve quality control, increase margins, and become more competitive. Shops that make the switch
CNC broaching Blind Splines
Blind splines are internal splines cut inside a bore that does not pass completely through a part. Because the tool cannot exit the back of the hole, blind splines require careful planning, proper clearance, and accurate programming. With the right approach, CNC machines can produce blind splines reliably using a
CNC Broaching Blind Keyways
Blind keyways are keyways machined inside a bore that does not pass completely through the part. Because the tool cannot exit out the back of the hole, blind keyways require proper planning, relief, and programming to avoid insert damage and to produce a clean, consistent slot. CNC broaching makes it
What is Spline Broaching?
Spline broaching is a machining process used to create a series of grooves or teeth, known as splines, on the inside of a bore or along the outside of a shaft. These splines form a drive connection between two mating parts, allowing torque to be transmitted while maintaining alignment. The
What is Keyway Broaching?
Keyway broaching is a machining process used to cut a slot, called a keyway, inside a bore. A keyway is a groove that allows a key to fit between a shaft and a mating part such as a gear, pulley, or coupling. This slot-and-key connection locks components together, transmitting torque
What is Broaching?
Broaching is a machining process used to cut internal or external shapes by pushing or pulling a specially designed tool called a broach across a workpiece. Unlike traditional cutting tools that may require multiple passes or secondary operations, a broach tool removes material in a single, progressive motion. Each tooth
What is Keyway Broaching? | The Ultimate Guide
Introduction Keyway broaching is a precise machining process used to create keyways—slots that accommodate keys in mechanical power transmission components like gears, pulleys, and shafts. This technique ensures secure mechanical connections and prevents slippage between components. At CNC Broach Tools, we specialize in carbide broaching tools that allow machinists to
