Value Collection 395-1112 Keyway Broach Style B Hss 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-1112 is a Style B keyway broach manufactured from high speed steel (HSS), designed for cutting precise keyway slots in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. The broach measures 3/16 inches in body width with an overall length of 6.75 inches. It accepts one shim and provides a cutting length range of 19/64 inches to 1-11/16 inches, making it suitable for a range of hub depths. The bright finish indicates an uncoated surface, which is standard for general-purpose broaching applications. This tool is typically used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working on shafts, pulleys, gears, and sprockets.

The 395-1112 is suited for production and maintenance environments where keyway slots must be cut to close tolerances in metallic components. The Style B broach profile conforms to standard keyway configurations used in mechanical power transmission assemblies. It is appropriate for use in both manual arbor presses and hydraulic broaching setups. The 3/16 inch keyway width with a tolerance of 0.1887 inches ensures consistent fitment with standard 3/16 inch keys. Applications span general machining shops, industrial maintenance, and precision component fabrication across a wide range of metal types.

Key Features

• Requires one shim, included in the standard broach set configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces requiring a 3/16 inch Style B keyway slot. Verify press capacity and shim stack configuration before use.

Installation Notes

Keyway broaching is performed by qualified machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic broaching press rated for the required push force. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and properly aligned with the broach before applying force. Apply a suitable cutting fluid or broaching lubricant to the broach and workpiece bore prior to each pass to reduce tool wear and improve surface finish. Inspect the broach and shim for damage before each use — a worn or chipped broach should not be used, as it can damage the workpiece or cause tool breakage.
