HHIP 2006-1022 3/16 Inch B HSS Keyway Broach with 1 Shim

Description

Product Overview

The HHIP 2006-1022 3/16 Inch B HSS Keyway Broach is a precision‑engineered cutting tool designed for the creation of keyways in hardened steel components. Measuring 3 × 1 × 6 inches and weighing just 3.84 ounces, this broach offers a compact footprint while delivering the strength required for demanding industrial applications. Constructed from high‑speed steel (HSS), the tool features a tapered geometry and a bright‑finished ground surface that reduces friction and extends tool life. The included shim, also made from HSS, ensures optimal fit and stability during operation, allowing users to achieve the tight .1877‑.1887 tolerances specified by the manufacturer. With a model number of 2006‑1022, this broach is part of HHIP’s extensive line of cutting tools, recognized for their durability and consistent performance across a range of machining environments.

Usage

Designed for use in CNC machines, manual keyway presses, and specialized broaching stations, the HHIP 2006‑1022 excels in applications where precision and repeatability are paramount. It is ideal for fabricating keyways in shafts, gear blanks, and other rotating components that require exact fit with corresponding keys. The tool’s 3/16‑inch size makes it suitable for medium‑sized keyways, while the B‑type designation indicates a specific keyway profile that aligns with industry standards. Operators should select the appropriate cutting speed and feed rate based on material hardness, typically ranging from 19/64 inches to 1‑11/16 inches in cut length. The included shim simplifies setup by compensating for minor variations in workpiece dimensions, ensuring a snug engagement that minimizes chatter and improves surface finish. Proper coolant application is recommended to reduce heat buildup and preserve the HSS coating.

FAQ

What material is the broach made from?

The broach is fabricated from high‑speed steel (HSS), which offers high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and the ability to maintain cutting performance at elevated temperatures.

Do I need to use the shim with every cut?

The shim is included to compensate for minor variations in workpiece dimensions and should be used whenever a precise fit is required to achieve the specified tolerances.

What is the recommended cutting speed for this broach?

Cutting speeds will vary depending on the material being machined, but for typical hardened steel, a speed range of 150‑200 SFM (surface feet per minute) is a good starting point, adjusted as needed based on tool wear and surface finish.

Can this broach be used in CNC machines?

Yes, the HHIP 2006‑1022 is compatible with CNC broaching stations as well as manual presses, making it versatile for both automated and hand‑operated environments.

What is the warranty or guarantee on this product?

HHIP provides a limited warranty covering manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase, ensuring that any material or workmanship issues are addressed promptly.
