Detailed Rotary Broach

[@jackhawley6398]

i don't get why you need it to spin? why not push it in without the chuck spinning?

[@TomMakeHere]

It's hard to see, but the tool in the tailstock is spinning at an angle. Only one tip of the hexagon is in contact at any time. As the lathe spins it drags the broach bit along until the next tip makes contact instead. That tip then nibbles at a bit of material, before the next tip comes in contact. This Old Tony has some good videos where he explains the process It is black magic until you get you hear around it ha ha

[@jackhawley6398]

@@TomMakeHere awesome thanks for the detailed reply. more to it than it looks then haha

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Thanks for asking this question! I have a part that needs a hex in it. I've been thinking about why it needs to spin also.

[@JarppaGuru]

xD then it would be round hole OR tool broke, but no one stop you push it in without turning anything. it just need lotsa power

[@smallblockchevy1022]

@@dans_Learning_Curve Doing it with the rotary action, with only one edge of the broach being in contact with the work at a time, just requires a lot less push force to plunge the broach into the hole. You certainly could just drive it straight in, and that would work, but it would require using something like a hydraulic press. I suppose you could drive it in with a hammer as well, but that might be a pretty crude way of doing it, with the risk of damaging or breaking the broach.

[@miguelcastaneda7236]

what i use to cup out tip is an old carbide drill i ground with shallow angle and for side clearance on broach i shim up end of spindex with a .015 shim works out to a degree and a half

[@TomMakeHere]

Ah nice that is a really good method How long do the drills work on HSS out of interest?

[@davidrule1335]

The bearing is correct. Back check it with some gauge blocks and that same mic. Earlier in the project when chucking you need to check for whip.

Watch out press fitting bearings too tight, it can tighten up the clearance too much. Well done explanation and very interesting content. Perhaps you could start the broach with the work stationary, especially if you are trying to line up with a false start. Thanks, first time viewer!

[@TomMakeHere]

I learnt that recently the hard way luckily it wasn't too bad in that case. I can't remember if I mentioned it in the video, I tried to relieve the entry of the bores so the press was only right at the back. It seemed to work for me

[@darkshadowsx5949]

seems like it doesn't need to spin at all.... its just spinning with the part as you shove it in there like a normal broach minus the spinning. The only benefit to using the lathe is getting it dead center.

[@TomMakeHere]

Definitely needs to spin, I wouldn't be able to push it through when stationary Because it is off axis, only one point is contacting at a time and this massively reduces the pressure required. Then as it rotates another point makes contact
