Value Collection 395-1448 Keyway Broach Style E 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-1448 is a Style E keyway broach designed for cutting precise keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Manufactured from high speed steel with a bright finish, this broach measures 15.5 inches overall length with a 3/4 inch body width and a cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches. Five shims are required for proper setup and progressive depth control during the broaching operation. Machinists and toolroom professionals use this broach with an arbor press or broaching machine to produce accurate keyway slots in hubs, gears, pulleys, and similar components.

This broach is suited for shop environments performing keyway operations on both ferrous metals such as steel and cast iron and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, and bronze. The Style E designation indicates a specific cross-sectional profile matched to standard keyway dimensions. It is appropriate for job shops, production machining cells, and maintenance repair operations requiring consistent 3/4 inch keyway cuts across varying workpiece lengths within the 1 to 6 inch cutting range.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Style E broach profile for standard keyway applications
• 3/4 inch keyway width with a tolerance value of 0.7525 inches
• Cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches accommodates varied workpiece depths
• Bright finish for corrosion resistance and clean surface contact
• Five shims included to support incremental depth progression during cutting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style tooling replacement for standard Style E keyway broach applications in arbor press or push-type broaching setups operating on ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces.

Installation Notes

This broach is installed and operated by machinists using an arbor press or dedicated broaching machine. Always secure the workpiece firmly in a broaching bushing before beginning the cut. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend tool life. Never exceed the rated cutting length of 6 inches or attempt to use this broach without the required shims, as improper shim use can cause tool deflection or workpiece damage.
