SURFACE BROACHING TOOLS:
like all broaches are capable of complex machining at impressive production rates. Yes the set-up of a surface broaching application tends to be more complicated with high levels of fixturing required than standard internal broaching, but the results are nevertheless compelling when costed against other machining methods such as milling or EDM etc.
TOOL MATERIALS:
We offer you tools made in conventional and powder metallurgy High Speed Steels. Including standard and premium grades M2, M35, M42, ASP2023, ASP2030
and equivalents (HS6-5-2, HS6-5-3, HS-6-5-2-5, HS 2-9-1-8, HS6-5-3-8) but only purchased from the worlds leading HSS manufacturers.
TOOL COATINGS:
Coating of broaches is not without its technical difficulties, but when it is right it can work very well. We have suppliers able to offer you TiN, TiCN, TiAlN, AlCrN, and combinations.
