Broaching (ha ha) a new topic
Cutman:
Hi all,
Just learning about how they make my famous unable to find PWA 3267 socket. It's for a 24 spline nut, and I was curious how it was made.
Turns out there's a machining process called broaching, which cuts the inside of a tool steel blank. Anyone here ever do anything like that? Just curious
Best, John
Papaw:
Broaching was the method that moved socket design from the old way like Mossberg and others.
oldgoaly:
I make square holes in steel pegs! made my own Pullmax collets. Plus have broached a number of keyways in bead roller dies. go slow and easy as not to break anything!
gibsontool:
Broaching is a very common task in machine shops, one example is cutting a keyway inside a sprocket.
Cutman:
Do you think it would be expensive to have an inch and a quarter 24 point spline socket made up?
