Value Collection 395-1440 Style E Keyway Broach 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-1440 is a Style E keyway broach machined from high speed steel for cutting precision keyways in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. The broach measures 15.5 inches overall length with a 0.75-inch body width and is designed to produce a 0.625-inch wide keyway slot. The cutting range spans 1 to 6 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of hub depths. A bright finish is applied to the tool surface. Four shims are required for proper sizing during use. This broach is used by machinists and toolroom professionals in production and maintenance environments.

This keyway broach is suited for shop applications where a Style E profile is specified, including cutting keyways in pulleys, gears, couplings, and bushings made from ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is commonly used with a broaching press or arbor press in both production shops and maintenance repair operations. The 1-to-6-inch cutting length range accommodates a variety of hub thicknesses encountered in typical mechanical assemblies.
