Broaching & Slotting

This group of processes includes Broaching and Slotting. Either process can be performed on dedicated broaching machinery or conventional milling and turning machines.

Broaching & Slotting both use toothed tools to quickly remove material. The processes are often used to produce internal and external shapes such as keyways, slots, squares, hexagons, straight sided splines and other irregular shapes.

The processes are best suited for medium to high volume production due to the cost of tooling.
