Value Collection 395-2216 Keyway Broach Style C-1 6 Mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-2216 is a Style C-1 keyway broach machined from high speed steel for cutting precise 6 mm keyways in both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. With an overall length of 11.75 inches and a cutting length range of 25/64 inch to 2.5 inches, this broach is suited for production and maintenance machining environments where dimensional accuracy and tool longevity are required. The bright finish indicates an uncoated tool surface. One shim is required for proper use, and the broach features 22 teeth with a tooth pitch of 3/8 inch.

This broach is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and maintenance facilities where shaft keyways must be cut or enlarged to accept standard 6x6 mm metric keys. Style C-1 broaches are typically driven through a bushing and guide system in a broaching press or arbor press setup. The 3/8-inch body width and the 25/64-inch minimum cut length make this tool appropriate for moderate-depth keyway work on pulleys, gears, hubs, and similar components machined from common metals.

Key Features

• Style C-1 keyway broach profile for 6 mm wide keyways with a 6x6 mm standard metric key size compatibility
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous metal cutting
• 22-tooth configuration with a 3/8-inch tooth pitch for progressive, controlled material removal
• Cutting length range of 25/64 inch to 2.5 inches accommodates a variety of hub depths
• Bright (uncoated) finish — suitable for standard broaching applications
• One shim required for use; sold individually

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard C-1 style broach bushing and shim systems when cutting 6 mm keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Confirm bushing bore and shim stack height prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Keyway broaches of this type are installed by a machinist using an arbor press or hydraulic broaching press in conjunction with a broach bushing and the required shim. Secure the workpiece firmly before pressing the broach through to prevent movement and tool damage. Inspect the broach for chipped or worn teeth before each use, and apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to improve finish quality and extend tool life. Do not exceed the rated cutting length for this tool.
