Variation in tooth design

Broaching is very popular throughout the industrial landscape due to the consistent high precision it provides over repeated cycles. To keep this high level of precision, all broaching tools have to stay sharp and in top operating condition. Ohio Broach offers broach sharpening, repair, and reconditioning services on customers’ tools to maintain peak quality.

Broaching tools are shaped like saws – except that the teeth increase in height along every tool’s length. The tool has three sections for various stages of the broaching process: rough machining, semi-finishing, and finishing. A major portion of precision broaching is variation of the tooth design on the tools, to meet the requirements of the work piece. Broaching can produce irregular shapes, keyways, non-circular holes, flat surfaces, teeth, and serrations. Operations can perform this on castings, forgings, stampings, screw-machine parts, and other work pieces. This has results in success for Ohio Broach with medical implants, shaft slots, hand tools, and other projects.

Another part of versatility in broaching is the range of materials that it can process. Broaching is most compatible with brass, aluminum, low carbon steel, and other materials less than Rc 30. But it also works for titanium, stainless steel, and other harder materials. Ohio Broach uses equipment that can handle a wide variety of materials, including bronze, copper, graphite, hard rubber, wood composites, and certain plastic types.

Broaching is a crucial process for many manufacturing organizations, due to its precision, versatility, and efficiency. With these key benefits, Ohio Broach continues to offer top broaching solutions in aerospace, oil and gas, the automotive industry, and other important sectors.
