Surface Broaches: A Complete Guide

Surface broaches are specially designed tools for machining flat surfaces, grooves, and keyways on metal components. Unlike round or spline broaches, surface broaches are optimized for producing long, flat, and accurate profiles, making them indispensable in high-precision industries.

At Amit Broaches, we manufacture a wide range of surface broaches for automotive, aerospace, defense, and industrial machinery, ensuring maximum accuracy, durability, and tool life.

surface broaches manufacturer in Patiala, Punjab.

What Are Surface Broaches?

A surface broach is a flat, multi-tooth cutting tool that removes material from a workpiece to create precise flat surfaces, slots, and keyways. These broaches can be:

  • Push surface broaches – pushed over the workpiece

  • Pull surface broaches – pulled for higher accuracy and deeper cuts

Why Surface Broaching Is Important

  • Achieves flat, uniform surfaces

  • Reduces post-processing requirements

  • Produces high dimensional accuracy

  • Suitable for high-volume production

Types of Surface Broaches

Amit Broaches manufactures various surface broaches to meet diverse machining needs:

1. Flat Surface Broaches

Ideal for creating smooth, flat surfaces on shafts, blocks, and machine components.

2. Keyway Surface Broaches

For machining internal keyways or slots on flat or slightly curved surfaces.

3. Step Surface Broaches

Cut multiple surfaces or slots in a single pass, improving efficiency.

4. Custom Surface Broaches

Engineered according to OEM drawings for specialized applications.

5. HSS & Carbide Surface Broaches

For soft and hardened metals, with optional coatings for increased tool life.

Materials Used in Surface Broaches

Selecting the right material is crucial for durability and precision:

1. High-Speed Steel (HSS)

  • Widely used

  • Excellent wear resistance

  • Suitable for general-purpose surface broaching

2. Powder Metallurgy (PM) Steel

  • Superior hardness and longevity

  • High-volume industrial production

3. Carbide-Tipped Surface Broaches

  • For hard or tough materials

  • Aerospace and automotive applications

Coatings

  • TiN, TiCN, TiAlN

  • Reduce friction, improve heat resistance, and extend tool life

Manufacturing Process of Surface Broaches

Amit Broaches ensures high precision through a detailed manufacturing process:

  1. Material Selection – Certified HSS or PM steel.

  2. CNC Machining – Accurate teeth and surface profile.

  3. Heat Treatment – Ensures hardness, wear resistance, and dimensional stability.

  4. Grinding & Finishing – Produces smooth cutting edges and precise dimensions.

  5. Optional Coating – Enhances durability and cutting efficiency.

  6. Quality Inspection – Checks tooth profile, flatness, slot accuracy, and surface finish.

Applications of Surface Broaches

Surface broaches are widely used in industries where precision flat surfaces or slots are critical:

1. Automotive

  • Engine components

  • Gear housings

  • Shaft flats and slots

2. Aerospace

  • Landing gear components

  • Aircraft structural parts

  • Precision housings

3. Heavy Machinery

  • Hydraulic block surfaces

  • Couplings and pulleys

  • Gear components

4. Industrial Equipment

  • Bearings, rollers, and shafts requiring flat surfaces

  • Custom machinery components

5. Defense

  • High-precision weapon parts

  • Vehicle and equipment components

Advantages of Surface Broaching

Surface broaching provides several benefits over milling, shaping, or grinding:

  •  Single-pass machining for flat surfaces and slots
  • Consistent dimensional accuracy
  • Smooth surface finish
  • Suitable for high-volume production
  •  Minimal operator skill required
  • Long tool life with proper maintenance
  •  Capable of machining soft to hardened materials

How to Select the Right Surface Broach

Consider the following factors:

  1. Surface Area & Length – Determines broach size

  2. Material of Workpiece – HSS, PM steel, or carbide required

  3. Slot or Keyway Requirements – Single or multiple slots

  4. Production Volume – High-volume operations benefit from coated broaches

  5. Machine Type – Push or pull broach machines affect tool selection

Maintenance and Re-sharpening

Proper care prolongs the life and accuracy of surface broaches:

  • Inspect teeth regularly

  • Re-sharpen when cutting performance decreases

  • Use coolant during machining

  • Store in protective cases

  • Avoid excessive force

We also offer professional re-sharpening and reconditioning services for all surface broaches.
