KEYWAY BROACHES

Cutting internal keyways into a sleeve or bush can be easily done using a HSS keyway broach and a press. A keyway broaching tool is simply pressed thru a bore, using a sized bush as a guide, the tapered keyway broach cuts down the work piece to produce a keyway. A secondary pass is usually required with a shim behind the keyway broach to finish the keyway to size. This is the simplest & fastest way for cutting internal keyways. Much faster than setting up and machining, or slotting a keyway in a mill, shaper or slotting machine.

Even cheaper Chinese keyway broaches can be adequate for one off jobs, as long as the keyway broach is kept straight in alignment.
