What is Keyway Broaching?

Keyway broaching involves using a broach, a toothed tool, to cut a keyway into a workpiece. The process typically requires a series of passes with progressively larger broaches to achieve the desired size and finish. This method is particularly effective for producing internal keyways, which are grooves cut inside a cylindrical surface.

Benefits of Keyway Broaching

Keyway broaching offers several advantages over other machining methods:

  • Precision: Achieves tight tolerances and smooth finishes.
  • Efficiency: Suitable for high-volume production with consistent quality.
  • Versatility: Capable of producing a wide range of keyway sizes and shapes.
