Value Collection 1395-0718 Keyway Broach Set 18 Piece

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1395-0718 is an 18-piece keyway broach set designed for cutting precision keyways in bores across a range of bushing sizes. Built from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this set covers keyway widths from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch and works with collared bushings ranging from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch in diameter. It handles Style B and Style C broach profiles, making it a versatile solution for machining shops, maintenance departments, and trade professionals who need to cut keyways in pulleys, sprockets, gears, and hubs. Five shims are required for proper depth increments during broaching operations.

This set is suited for use in machine shops, industrial maintenance environments, and production settings where keyway cutting is a routine operation. Style B and Style C broaches cover the most common inch-standard keyway profiles used in power transmission components. The included collared bushings guide each broach through the bore accurately, and the 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch bushing diameter range addresses a wide cross-section of standard shaft and bore sizes found in motors, pumps, and gear reducers.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with collared push-type broaching setups on arbor presses; compatible with standard inch-series bores requiring Style B or Style C keyways from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch width and bushing diameters from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch.

Installation Notes

Keyway broaching is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using an arbor press with adequate tonnage for the material and broach size in use. Always secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the bushing is seated squarely in the bore before applying press force. Use the correct number of shims to achieve the required keyway depth in progressive passes rather than attempting full depth in a single stroke. Cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material is recommended to extend broach life and improve surface finish.
