Punch broach tooling from Slater Tools creates numerous shapes

Slater Tools has released a line of indexable punch broaches and holders to machine shapes in workpieces when rotary broaching may not be feasible.

Punch broaches are available to machine keyways, hexagons, Torx-style sixlobes, serrations, splines, and squares.

The indexable punch broach holders use partial form broach tools and index either the tool or the workpiece, which helps reduce cutting pressure. This method of broaching is suitable for applications that require no witness (pre-drill) marks, excessive material removal, or timing of the form to a feature on the part.

The holders feature a rigid design with standard shank diameters from 0.625 to 1.250 in. Metric shanks also are available.
