Value Collection 395-2212 Keyway Broach Style C 5mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-2212 is a Style C keyway broach designed for cutting precision keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Manufactured from high-speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this broach delivers consistent material removal across a cutting length range of 25/64 inches to 2-1/2 inches. The broach spans 11-3/4 inches overall and features a 3/8-inch body width. One shim is required for use. With 22 teeth at a 3/8-inch tooth pitch, it produces a 5 mm wide keyway compatible with standard 5x5 mm key stock. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this broach type for hub, bore, and shaft keyway work.

This broach is suited for production and repair applications where a 5 mm keyway must be cut into a bored hole. It is used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial production environments. Typical applications include cutting keyways into gear hubs, sprockets, pulleys, and coupling bores. It is compatible with standard arbor press or hydraulic press broaching setups. The 25/64-inch to 2-1/2-inch cutting length range accommodates a variety of hub thicknesses commonly encountered in general machining work.

Key Features

• Style C keyway broach cuts a 5 mm wide keyway to match 5x5 mm standard key stock
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid in standard broaching operations
• 22 teeth at 3/8-inch pitch for controlled, progressive material removal
• Cutting length range of 25/64 inches to 2-1/2 inches handles varied hub depths
• One shim included or required to achieve proper keyway depth positioning

Compatibility

Compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Designed for use with standard Style C broach bushings and arbor press or hydraulic press broaching setups requiring a 5 mm keyway and 5x5 mm key compatibility.

Installation Notes

Broaching is performed by a machinist using an arbor press or hydraulic press with the appropriate bushing to guide the broach. Ensure the workpiece bore is properly sized and the broach is aligned with the bushing before applying press force. One shim is required to set correct broach depth — confirm shim placement before pressing. Use cutting fluid throughout the stroke to reduce heat and extend tool life.
