The Razorform Tools indexable-insert-style broaching system, for CNC lathes with locking spindle, saves setup time by never having to remove the tool from the turret when changing out the insert. While there are other ways to broach, this system provides the an efficient, cost-effective way to broach keyways ranging from ¹/8" to ½".
Aside from the obvious advantage of getting two cutting edges for the price of one with each of the inserts, the TiN coated razor-sharp carbide insert lasts three to four times as long as brazed carbide inserts. The tool design also allows for the insert to be removed and rotated or replaced while the tool remains locked in the turret.
The tough, heat-treated O-1 tool steel and the proprietary design of the insert and insert pocket, provide stability during the cut, reducing chatter. The removable carbide inserts mean one tool will last virtually forever, replacing only the inserts as you cut more parts.
Razorform Tools currently offers nine sizes of broaching tool and insert from 0.127 (for a ¹/8" keyway) to a 0.502 (for a ½" keyway).
