Consistent precision over repeated cycles

What makes broaching so popular throughout the industrial landscape is the consistent high precision it offers over repeated cycles. This has resulted in success for Ohio Broach with many projects, such as medical implants, shaft slots, or hand tools. To maintain this high level of precision, all broaching tools have to stay sharp and in peak operational condition. The company provides broach sharpening, repair, and reconditioning services on customers’ tools to maintain this high quality.

Broaching tools are shaped like saws, except that their teeth increase in height along the length of the tools. Each one has three sections for different stages of the broaching process – rough machining, semi-finishing, and finishing. A large part of precision broaching is variation of the tooth design on the tool, to meet the needs of the work piece. Broaching can make irregular shapes, keyways, non-circular holes, flat surfaces, teeth, and serrations. Operations can perform this on castings, forgings, stampings, screw-machine parts, and other pieces.

The range of materials that broaching can process is another part of its versatility. 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 broad range of materials, like bronze, copper, graphite, hard rubber, wood composites, and certain kinds of plastic.

Because of its precision, versatility, and efficiency, broaching is an important process for many manufacturers. With these key advantages, Ohio Broach continues to provide top broaching solutions in essential industries like aerospace, oil and gas, and the automotive sector.
