Keyway Broaching Tools & Precision Slot Cutting

Keyway broaching is a precision machining process that uses specially designed tools to cut accurate slots (keyways) inside holes or bores, essential for fitting keys that lock shafts to gears, pulleys, and couplings. These cutting tools feature a series of teeth that progressively remove material in a single, controlled pass, delivering consistent dimensions and smooth finishes. Broaching is widely used in manufacturing and repair shops where reliable mechanical connections and torque transmission are critical. With the right tooling, keyway broaching ensures efficiency, repeatability, and reliable performance in industrial applications.
