Value Collection 395-1332 Style D Keyway Broach 7/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-1332 is a Style D keyway broach ground from high speed steel for cutting 7/16-inch keyways in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. The broach measures 13-7/8 inches overall and accepts a cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches, making it adaptable to a wide range of hub depths. Three shims are required for use and should be sourced before beginning the broaching operation. The 9/16-inch body width provides the cross-sectional rigidity needed to maintain dimensional accuracy through the full cutting stroke. The bright finish indicates no coating, leaving the tool in a clean, uncoated condition suitable for inspection and lubrication before use.

This broach is intended for machine shop and maintenance applications where internal keyways must be cut or refined to accept standard 7/16-inch keys. Typical use cases include retrofitting pulleys, sprockets, gears, and couplings in industrial power-transmission assemblies. The Style D profile is a widely recognized broach geometry used with arbor presses and broaching fixtures in production and repair environments. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics are the primary installers of this tooling.

Key Features

• Style D broach geometry for standard keyway cutting operations
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 7/16-inch keyway width with a tolerance of 0.4390 inches
• Cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches accommodates varied hub depths
• 13-7/8-inch overall length provides adequate push-through clearance on most arbor presses
• Bright finish allows easy pre-use inspection and surface lubrication
• Requires 3 shims for proper setup and depth control

Compatibility

Designed for use in arbor press and broaching fixture setups for cutting 7/16-inch Style D keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metal components such as gears, pulleys, sprockets, and couplings.

Installation Notes

This tooling is installed and operated by machinists or industrial maintenance mechanics using an arbor press or hydraulic broaching fixture. Ensure the workpiece is rigidly fixtured and properly aligned before pressing the broach through. Apply cutting fluid or broaching paste to the broach before each pass to reduce heat and extend tool life. Count and confirm all three shims are seated correctly before beginning the cut to achieve proper keyway depth.
