Broaching Machines Broaching machines generate a fast and accurate machining process where metal is removed through the use of a broach, a tool with multiple teeth that pushes and pulls through prepared holes. This process of machining holes into other shapes in the part simultaneously for both internal and external or flat contours are utilized today where broaching machines replicate parts that need to be manufactured quickly and economically. Usually the width of each surface can be machined in one pass. The process of broaching keeps errors to a minimum because the process does not generate a lot of heat so heat distortion is not an issue. Broaching machines are available in two styles: vertical and horizontal. The horizontal model has the advantage of enabling the operator to reach any part of the machine, especially the workstation, and is easily adjustable for stroke in order to meet varying broach lengths. The vertical model takes up little floor space and is usually limited to short stroke broaches because long stroke broaches would require a pit or a platform in order for the operator to reach the workstation. Vertical broaches can last longer than horizontals because the broach and work piece are immersed in cutting liquid. Used broaching machines are classified as B7854, B8061, B8092, B8096 and B8114. These cover horizontal, vertical pull down, vertical surface dual ram, vertical surface single ram and tri-way. Colonial Broach, U.S. Broach, Detroit Broach, Ty-Miles Broach, Ohio Broach and Broaching Specialties manufacture these broaching machines. See our Used Broaching Machine Inventory Back
