HHIP 2006-1024 3/16 Inch C HSS Keyway Broach with 1 Shim

Description

Product Overview

The HHIP 2006-1024 3/16 Inch C HSS Keyway Broach is engineered for demanding industrial environments where precision and durability are non‑negotiable. Constructed from high‑speed steel (HSS) and finished with a bright, tapered surface, the broach delivers consistent material removal while resisting wear and heat buildup. Its dimensions—3 × 8 × 3 inches and a weight of just over 10 oz—make it compact enough for handheld operation yet robust enough for heavy‑duty applications. The included shim ensures a perfect fit within the keyway, eliminating play and guaranteeing a clean, accurate cut every time. Designed to meet tolerances of .1877‑.1887, this tool aligns with the exacting standards of modern machining, offering a reliable solution for keyway preparation, repair, and refurbishment across a wide range of steel components.

Usage

Designed for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and on‑site repair stations, this broach excels in cutting keyways for shafts, gears, and couplings. Its C‑type geometry provides a balanced cutting action that reduces vibration, making it suitable for both manual and CNC‑controlled operations. The tool’s length of cut ranges from a minimum of 25/64 inch to a maximum of 2‑1/2 inches, allowing flexibility for shallow to deep keyway cuts. Operators can employ the broach in a variety of steel grades, from mild carbon steel to hardened alloy steels, thanks to the high‑speed steel material that maintains hardness at elevated temperatures. The included shim simplifies setup, ensuring the broach seats correctly in the workpiece and delivering repeatable results with minimal adjustment time. Whether you are fabricating new components or restoring worn keyways, this broach provides the accuracy and reliability required for high‑precision machining tasks.

FAQ

What material is the broach made from?

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

Do I need any additional tools to use this broach?

No additional tools are required for basic operation. The package includes a precision‑ground shim that matches the broach’s dimensions, allowing immediate installation and use.

Can this broach be used on hardened alloy steels?

Yes, the high‑speed steel material is capable of cutting through hardened alloy steels while retaining its edge, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

What is the recommended maintenance routine?

After each use, clean the broach to remove metal chips and apply a light coat of cutting oil to protect against corrosion. Periodically inspect the cutting edges for wear and replace the shim if it becomes damaged.

Is the broach compatible with CNC machines?

Absolutely. Its precise dimensions and balanced geometry make it ideal for CNC‑controlled keyway machining, providing consistent results across multiple workpieces.
