What is the point of a rotary broach?
Rotary broaching is a very accurate method of producing precision polygon forms in a variety of metal work pieces. Broaches are precision ground to insure accuracy, and the rotary broach holder is designed to help machinists make repeatable accurate forms on nearly all turning machines.
What is broaching on a lathe?
Broaching (Slotting) is a machining process in which a keyway or a profile is created by cutting movements on the Z-axis. The cutting depth is determined with movements of the X-axis. With the working stroke on the Z-axis, material is removed depending on the cutting depth.
What is a rotor broach?
Rotary broaching, also known as wobble broaching, is an exclusive, fast, amazing and accurate method of producing internal and external polygon forms on the end of a workpiece. The Rotary Broach Tool Holder can be used on any CNC, Swiss, milling, screw or other turning machine.
What is an annular cutter used for?
An annular cutter is a specialized bit for drilling through metal. Like a hole saw for wood, an annular cutter only cuts the outside edge of a hole. It produces accurate burr-free holes to close tolerances without pre-drilling or step drilling.
What are the uses of broach?
Broaching is used to machine internal and external surfaces, such as holes, keyways, and teeth of internal gears. The broaching process, similar to shaping with multiple teeth, is used to machine internal and external surfaces such as holes of circular, square, or irregular shapes, keyways and teeth of internal gears.
Can you mill with an annular cutter?
Annular cutters or core drills are typically used in magnetic based drills but also work great in mills and can even be adapted to a drill press.
What is a Weldon shank?
A Weldon flat is a flat section on a tool shank. When placed in a Toolholder the flat on the shank is held in place by set screws within the body of the holder. Using this flat, a set screw securely holds the tool and prevents the tool from rotating when machining.
