The Future of Broaching

The Future of Broaching
Razorform's inserted broaching tools allow CNC lathes and CNC mills to broach internal keyways rather than transfer parts to a separate broaching machine or vend out to specialty broaching service. Especially applicable to gear cutting, and internal keyway cutting on pumps, valves, motor shafts, wheel hubs, flanges, sprockets ect |

CNC broached Monel Internal Keyway
"We recently ran up against a tough lot of Monel sockets requiring slotting six places through a helix. The material was far harder than usual, and our usual rotary broach couldn't handle it. Because the run was short, we couldn't spend a lot on tooling. The Razor Form tool cut the nasty stuff beautifully, even through the interrupts, and got the job done with less burring and deformation. Even managed to salvage the part that the old broach broke down on. Good job! Thanks for the help." |

Blind Internal Keyway Broached on cnc lathe
“We currently implemented a broach tool from razorform tools, it was a broach application that was not a through hole which required us to look into farming out this application. With implementing the razorform tool we were able to not only keep this operation in house, we were able to combine it to the lathe operation and also because of that we were able to add the drill and tap cross holes to make it complete in one operation which is always a cost savings if you don't have to handle the parts more than once. Centerline held real well because the bore and the broached keyway were done in the same operation.”

Broaching is one of the most shocking operations in machining and this has prevented previous inserted broach tool designs from standing up to the forces required to cut internal keyways. With over 400 clients around the world our broach tool design is proven to stand up to long production runs in any gauntlet of material that the machining world can throw at us. Using Razorform keyway cutters we have clients broaching continuously in Titanium, 8620, Inconel, heat-treated 4140 etc…
CNC mill broaching and CNC Lathe broaching allows yet another operation to be completed on your machining center rather than move parts to a separate key-seater or broaching machine, vending out the operation to an expensive specialty broaching house, or spending valuable shop time making your own tools.
Razorform introduced their patented inserted broaching tools to the manufacturing world in 2006. We are proudly a Made in the USA, family-owned and operated small business with veteran, female, and Native American ownership.
We offer an off-the-shelf solution for the CNC broaching of standard internal keyways.
“Using Razorform's broaching tools reduced our lead time by as much as 2 weeks, since we don't need to outsource this part of the process. Our parts are now ready to be shipped when they come out of the lathe. Support has also been excellent. Thank you Razorform!”

The Future of the Broaching process is to cut you internal keyway along with the rest of your operations on one machine. Your CNC lathe, cnc mill, or cnc machining center. Transfering parts and finding center line again for each part is a nightmare. An even bigger nightmare is packing up all of your parts and paying to ship them to a specialty broach house or to be EDM'ed. Use the equipment you spent so much money on to do a complete part in one location.

Indexable Insert Broaching Tools - The Future of Broaching
Broaching System Saves Setup Time
The company offers an indexable-insert-style broaching tool for use in CNC machining centers.
The Employee-Owned Advantage
This Ohio shop is 100-percent employee-owned. Thus, both management and shopfloor employees recognize the importance of optimizing efficiency wherever possible. Thanks to a strong willingness to invest in and embrace new technologies, sales-per-employee has increased by more than 50 percent in the last five years.
Indexable-Insert-Style Broaching Tool
Designed for CNC lathes with locking spindles, the indexable-insert-style broaching tool can broach keyways ranging from 1/8" to ½". The TiN coated, double-sided, micrograin carbide insert is said to last longer than brazed carbide inserts or slivers of carbide.
Indexable-Insert-Style Broaching Tool for Lathes(2)
The indexable-insert-style broaching tool is suited for use in CNC lathes with a locking spindle. While there are other ways to broach, this system is designed to provide an efficient, cost-effective way to broach keyways ranging from 1/8" to 1/2", the company says. The TiN-coated, razor-sharp carbide insert is said to last longer than brazed carbide inserts.
Indexable-Insert-Style Broaching Tool For Lathes
Indexable-Insert Broaching Tool Technology For Lathes
A new indexable-insert-style broaching tool for CNC lathes provides two cutting edges per carbide insert. Because the tool body can remain installed in the lathe's turret during insert indexing or replacement, it is unnecessary to re-zero the tool after the change.
