Value Collection 395-2006 Keyway Broach Style a 2 Mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-2006 is a Style A keyway broach designed for cutting precise keyways in bores across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this broach delivers consistent dimensional accuracy for standard 2 mm x 2 mm key seat profiles. It features 18 teeth with a 3/16-inch tooth pitch and requires no shims, simplifying setup for push or pull broaching operations. With a 5-inch overall length and a 1/8-inch body width, it fits standard broaching arbors and press fixtures used in machine shops and maintenance environments.

This broach is suited for production and maintenance machining applications where a standard 2 mm keyway must be cut into a hub, gear, pulley, or similar bored component. It handles both ferrous metals (steel, cast iron) and non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, bronze). The cutting length range of 13/64 inch to 1-1/8 inches accommodates a wide variety of bore depths. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians typically deploy this broach in hydraulic or arbor press setups for one-pass keyway production.

Key Features

• Style A keyway broach — no shims required for standard 2 mm x 2 mm key seat
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 18 teeth at 3/16-inch pitch for smooth, progressive stock removal
• Cutting length range of 13/64 inch to 1-1/8 inches covers common bore depths
• Bright, uncoated finish — compatible with standard cutting fluids
• 1/8-inch body width fits standard broaching arbors without modification

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 2 mm x 2 mm metric key seat applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces; fits Style A broaching arbors and press tooling setups.

Installation Notes

Broaching operations should be performed by a qualified machinist using a hydraulic or mechanical arbor press of adequate tonnage for the material and bore length. Secure the workpiece firmly and ensure the broach is properly aligned with the bore centerline before applying force to avoid broach deflection or breakage. Always apply an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend tool life and improve surface finish. Never reverse a broach under load — complete each stroke in one direction only.
