Used in CNC and milling machines, these broaches turn round holes into hexagonal ones with more accuracy than traditional push broaches. Pair them with a rotary broach holder (sold separately), which positions the broach at a slight angle so only one corner is cutting at a time. The hex-shaped holes these broaches create are useful for holding hex-head screws and shafts in finished parts, as well as for cutting hex drives into screw heads. They work on through holes as well as blind holes, which don’t go all the way through. If you’re cutting soft material, don’t have a CNC or milling machine, or don’t need accuracy, use these broaches in the traditional push style, without the holder.

A tolerance of 0” to 0.001” means these broaches cut with a standard degree of accuracy, making them good for most general applications. They’re made of M2 high-speed steel, the standard material for cutting tools.

Changing round holes into a square shape more accurately than traditional push broaches, these broaches go in CNC and milling machines. Use them with a rotary broach holder (sold separately), which slightly angles the broach so only one corner is cutting at a time. The square holes these broaches cut are good for holding square shafts in finished parts. They work on through holes as well as blind holes, which don’t go all the way through. If you’re cutting soft material, don’t have a CNC or milling machine, or don’t need accuracy, use these broaches in the traditional push style, without the holder.

Use these holders to secure your rotary broach in a lathe, milling machine, or CNC machine. They position your broach at a 1° angle to create a shearing effect on the part as the broach goes in, transforming round holes into complex shapes.

Adjustable holders work with a wider range of cutting machines, broaches, and hole sizes than nonadjustable holders. However, they’re less accurate and require more setup time to remain centered as the broach cuts into the hole.

Nonadjustable holders are more accurate and faster to set up than adjustable holders, but only work with specific broaches and high-precision cutting machines. They’re known as Swiss-style holders.
