Broaching - Cutting a Keyway

Cutting a keyway using a broaching tool and a press.

[@RobbOsborne]

Fantastic tutorial! Straight-forward, simple to understand, & quite to the point. GREAT JOB Brad!

[@machiningmoments]

Thank you, glad you liked it. I appreciate you watching the video.

[@diaroneal6969]

watching this 13 yrs after you aired it and if you are still there - super thank you!!

[@machiningmoments]

@diaroneal6969 Yup still here just not very active. Hard to believe I made this 13 years ago...thanks for watching and saying hi!

[@jamesoliver7447]

So refreshing to see a perfectly made video. No waffle and super informative. Well done and thanks.

[@machiningmoments]

Thank you for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@billtravis523]

As a non-machinist, I asked myself, "What is broaching?" This video answered that question. Much knowledge was transferred in these 4 minutes. I'll never again look at a keyway without thinking of this video which showed me how the outer sleeve half of it was cut. No screen-filling men's selfie face, tedious introduction before saying "So, let's dive right in!", or music. Nicely done.

[@machiningmoments]

@@billtravis523 Thanks for watching Bill. I appreciate your kind words.

As a production engineering student who's been sitting at home for the past two years these videos are invaluable to me.

Did get help and which country are you from?

[@machiningmoments]

Thanks for your post, I always appreciate hearing that my videos are useful.

[@DawsonHelman]

My dad gave me a few sets of these to sell as he’s retired now and I had no idea what they were for. Great video

[@machiningmoments]

@@DawsonHelman Most machine shops will use them. Thanks for watching. Happy New Year.

Heaps of really good information in that short little video and good practical demo, well worth the watch, many thanks, Gordon, Australia

[@machiningmoments]

Hi Gordon, thanks for the note. I'm glad you like it. I have really good friends in Melbourne.

[@georgeyoung2336]

Thank you for all the work you put into making this video. Extremely easy to understand and follow. I can only hope you have other videos on different tools. Much appreciation for your work.

[@machiningmoments]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for taking the time to write and say so. If you go to machiningmoments on KZbin you will see other videos I've uploaded.

[@billstmaxx]

that seemed to cut through like butter ... lovely thank you

[@machiningmoments]

They are very sharp.

[@AlphaBobFloridaOverlord]

Thank you for making this video. Fairly simple process, but really cool to be able to see it done - especially with a ratcheting arbor press!

[@machiningmoments]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@egvander65]

Who would have thunk it... I had no clue how this was done. When asked to purchase a set I thought it would be nice to know what it's for. We won't get a lot of use from it but the few times we'll need it it will be very handy to have. Very educational, thank you!

[@machiningmoments]

I'm glad you found the video useful. I always appreciate viewers taking the time to leave a message. Thank you.

[@garvinmcphail7590]

Brad! Great video! I learned a lot from you. Needed a refresher on how to broach and sure enough my old shop teacher posts the video! Take care!

[@machiningmoments]

:) Hi Garvin, how are you? Small world hey!

[@stanleyrodgers3375]

Very well articulated demonstration! I like your vernier calipers--really old school! It's great that you have such a nice ratcheting arbor press! Shapers also work very well for cutting internal keyways, especially larger ones.

Now I know what a broach is. Thanks so much.

[@machiningmoments]

Glad to help.

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Glad that I found this! Great explanation!

[@machiningmoments]

I'm glad it helped, thanks for watching.

[@machiningmoments]

It should work, you may need something to help push the broach all the way through the bore. What size is the bore? Can you make a two piece collar? It can also be done on a lathe or shaper. Thanks for your question.

[@sam93931]

I was building those inside cylinder keyway in SolidWorks and wondered how could they make it.. Pretty neat!

[@machiningmoments]

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

[@heinheso3417]

Hey nice Video. How much pressure is needed in this case?

[@machiningmoments]

Thank you. There is enough pressure to require the use of a hand press. If the cutter is sharp, and goes through straight, it is not a lot of pressure created. Thanks for watching.

[@nicolemagpantay4583]

Thank you for your kind words, our students are required to learn to read a vernier caliper hence its use in the video. Absolutely, shapers do a great job. I've splined with them also.

thanks that was great and your explanation was very clear..one question, I wanted to make a 120mm long collar but I was told that I couldnt broach it...why is that ? is there a way around it

[@AdamNardi]

I just found so many of these types of tools at my grandpa in laws house, he passed away and I’m allowed to have whatever I want. I guess I’ll list them on eBay. Or maybe I should start watching more of these videos and do it for a living ? 🤔 hmmm

The depth is found in the Machinery Handbook and is measured. Carefully chosen shims help achieve the proper depth.

[@SSGTA440]

Yes, great job! Could you lay the broach sideways in a lathe tool post and run it horizontally? I don't have an arbour press

[@machiningmoments]

Yes, it is called push/pull broaching.

It's a pretty small bore to do in a lathe, it should work as shown in the video. Good luck!

Iam a student indian engineer but I able to understand ""what is broaching"" thanks a lot bro

[@machiningmoments]

Running a tool (broach) through a bore to create desired geometry...in this case a keyway.

[@111alien111]

Pleasure to watch - what would be a cost of something like that as I dont want to spend on that kind of equipment, I'm liking to keyway a 7/8 propper shaft coupling

[@machiningmoments]

+111alien111 I'm not sure, your local industrial tool supplier should be able to give you a price.

[@johnh9507]

since its a 3/16 does the mean the bushing only accepts 3/16 ? i cant find anyone who can explain the thicknesses of the broach and bushing groove, or what A B C D means where are the people with all the details

[@machiningmoments]

They key would need to be the same width for both the shaft and bore. Approximately half the width extends into the bore and the other half is in the shaft. The width is dictated by SAE according to shaft diameter.
