Value Collection 1395-0218 Style E Keyway Broach Set

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1395-0218 is a 17-piece Style E keyway broach set designed for cutting keyways in bores ranging from 5/8 to 3/4 inches in width. The set accommodates plain bushings with bushing diameters from 2-3/8 to 3 inches. Broaches are manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing the hardness and wear resistance required for production keyway cutting in metal workpieces. This set is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians performing shaft-to-hub keyway work on mills, lathes, or arbor presses.

This broach set is suited for shops handling a range of bore sizes within the 5/8 to 3/4 inch keyway width range. The included plain bushings guide the broach through the bore, ensuring straight, accurate keyway cuts. With 9 shims included, the set allows for incremental depth control across multiple passes. The vendor set is identified as No. 40-1/2A. Typical applications include manufacturing, repair shops, and maintenance facilities cutting standard inch keyways in hubs, gears, pulleys, and sprockets.

Compatibility

Designed for use with plain bushings in the 2-3/8 to 3 inch diameter range; suitable for standard Style E keyway broaching applications in inch-dimensioned bores requiring 5/8 to 3/4 inch keyway widths.

Installation Notes

Keyway broaching is performed by machinists using an arbor press or broaching machine. The workpiece bore must be properly supported and aligned before pressing. Always secure the workpiece firmly and apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend broach life. Add shims progressively between passes to reach full keyway depth without overloading the broach.
