FAQ
Keyway broaching is a process used to create precise slots or keyways in components such as gears, pulleys, or shafts. This ensures secure and accurate fits for mechanical assemblies.
Technically, while both processes create keyways, broaching typically uses a broach with multiple teeth to remove material in a single pass.
Slotting often uses a cutting tool or a broaching insert with a single tooth to cut the keyway in multiple passes.
However, these terms are often used interchangeably in practice.
Yes, in both static insert holders and live broaching heads internal cooling is a standard feature. This extends tool life and delivers higher surface quality.
Yes, either by using static broach tools with machine axis movement or live broaching heads equipped with an internal reciprocating mechanism.
The latter option offers faster operation and reduces the stress exerted on the lathe turret.
It is possible to broach with an arbor press but you’ll need a long broach with multiple teeth made for broaching machines. Inserted broaching tools are not suitable for this purpose.
Yes, with the correct setup and tooling, broaching can be performed on a CNC mill. We recommend using a Gisstec alignment plate to correctly align the keyways on a machining center.
Consider factors such as the material you’re working with, the required keyway dimensions, and the type of machine and clamping system available.
Regular cleaning, proper storage, and inspecting for wear are essential to maintaining the tool’s performance. Lubricating the cutting tools during use also extends its life.
