Value Collection 395-2440 Keyway Broach Style F-1 20mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 395-2440 is a Style F-1 keyway broach manufactured from high speed steel and designed for cutting keyways in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. With a keyway width of 20 mm and a cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches, this broach handles a broad range of hub depths in a single setup. The bright finish reduces friction during the cut. Three shims are required for proper sizing and are factored into the standard setup for this tool. Machinists and toolroom technicians use this broach with an arbor press or hydraulic press to produce precise, square keyways in bores.

This broach is suited for production and toolroom applications where a 20 mm keyway must be cut into a bored hub or component. It is compatible with a standard millimeter key size of 20x12 and is intended for use in both ferrous and non-ferrous metal applications. The 1-inch body width and 26-tooth configuration make it appropriate for moderate to heavy-duty cutting in typical shaft and hub assemblies found in industrial machinery, drives, and gearboxes.

Key Features

• Style F-1 broach geometry for standard keyway profiles
• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• 20 mm keyway width with a tolerance of 0.7880
• Cutting length range of 1 to 6 inches accommodates varied hub depths
• 26 teeth with a 5/8-inch tooth pitch for controlled, incremental material removal
• Bright finish reduces friction and aids chip flow during cutting
• Requires 3 shims for proper sizing setup

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 20x12 millimeter key size applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metal workpieces. Verify bore size and hub length against the 1-to-6-inch cutting length range before installation.

Installation Notes

This broach is installed by a machinist or toolroom technician using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never strike with a hammer. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the bore is properly aligned before pressing. Install the correct number of shims as specified to achieve the proper keyway width tolerance. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines during broaching operations.
