Keyway Broach Set Jerax No.10 Industrial Tools 18 Piece HSS Steel Kit

Description

Product Overview

The Jerax No.10 Keyway Broach Set is a comprehensive 18‑piece solution engineered for demanding industrial applications. Crafted from high‑speed steel (HSS) with superior hardness, the set delivers exceptional wear resistance and maintains cutting performance even under elevated temperatures. The collection includes four precision‑ground broaches (1/8″B, 3/16″B, 1/4″C, 3/8″C), nine interchangeable bushings ranging from 1/2″B to 1″C, and five calibrated shims that facilitate fine adjustments during keyway creation. Each component is heat‑treated to achieve a balanced blend of rigidity and toughness, ensuring long service life and consistent results across a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, and alloyed components. The set is packaged in a rugged, lockable case measuring 14.29 x 7.24 x 4.06 inches and weighing 7.87 pounds, providing both protection and portability for on‑site technicians. Designed with ergonomic considerations, the broaches feature smooth, rounded edges that reduce chip buildup and minimize operator fatigue during extended use. The included bushings and shims enable rapid setup changes, allowing users to adapt quickly to different keyway dimensions without the need for additional tools. This versatility makes the Jerax Keyway Broach Set an indispensable asset for machining, maintenance, and repair tasks in automotive, aerospace, and heavy‑equipment industries.

Usage

Designed for a broad spectrum of industrial environments, the Jerax Keyway Broach Set excels in applications that require precise keyway formation, groove machining, and component refurbishment. Whether you are working in a high‑volume manufacturing floor, a machine shop, or a field service setting, the set provides the flexibility to handle a range of key sizes and profiles. The broaches are ideal for creating internal keyways in shafts, gear blanks, and couplings, while the bushings serve as guides to ensure accurate alignment and reduce deflection during the cutting process. The shims allow for micro‑adjustments, guaranteeing tight tolerances and a perfect fit for critical assemblies. Users benefit from reduced setup time thanks to the intuitive layout of the accessories, which are clearly labeled and stored in dedicated compartments within the case. The robust construction of each tool means that even under heavy load conditions, the broaches maintain their geometry, delivering clean cuts with minimal burr formation. This reliability translates to lower rework rates and increased productivity. Additionally, the set’s compact case makes it easy to transport between job sites, enabling technicians to carry a complete keyway solution in a single, organized package.

FAQ

What materials can the Jerax Keyway Broach Set cut?

The set is optimized for high‑speed steel, which allows it to effectively cut a variety of metals including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and many alloyed components commonly found in industrial machinery.

How do I select the correct broach and bushing for my application?

Each broach and bushing is clearly labeled with its size designation. Match the broach size to the keyway width you need, then use the corresponding bushing as a guide to maintain alignment and reduce deflection during cutting. The included shims allow for fine‑tuning of the fit if needed.

Can the broaches be re‑sharpened after extended use?

Yes, the HSS steel broaches can be re‑sharpened by a qualified tool‑sharpening service. Re‑sharpening restores the cutting edge and extends the life of the tool, making it a cost‑effective solution for long‑term use.

Is the case waterproof or resistant to dust?

The case is constructed from durable polymer with sealed seams that provide a high degree of protection against dust and incidental moisture, ensuring the tools remain clean and ready for use.

What warranty does Jerax offer on this product?

Jerax provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If any component fails due to a defect within this period, we will replace it at no cost to the customer.
