Value Collection 395-1008 Keyway Broach 1/8 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-1008 is a Style A keyway broach ground from high speed steel (HSS) for cutting precise keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. The broach measures 1/8 inch in body width with a 5-inch overall length and handles cutting lengths from 13/64 inch up to 1-1/8 inches. A bright (uncoated) finish is applied to the tool surface. One shim is required for proper setup. This tool is sized and configured for use in arbor presses or broaching fixtures and is typically installed by machinists, toolroom technicians, or maintenance professionals performing keyway cutting operations.

The 395-1008 is suited for cutting 1/8-inch keyways in hubs, gears, pulleys, and similar workpieces made from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Style A broaches of this size are commonly used in light-duty production and maintenance repair operations where a standard push-type broach setup is appropriate. The 1/8-inch width and compact body make this broach well matched to smaller bore applications where a narrow keyway slot is required.

Installation Notes

Keyway broaching is performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians using an arbor press or hydraulic press with a properly rated broaching fixture. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying press force, and confirm that the correct shim is in place to achieve proper keyway depth before beginning the cut. Never exceed the press capacity rated for the broach size, and inspect the broach for cracks or chipping before each use. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating press equipment.
