🛠️ Effective Broaching Instructions (Lathe Setup)
⚠️ Safety First
Always wear eye protection.
Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped.
Do not exceed recommended speeds.
Keep hands clear during operation.
🔧 Setup Steps
Prepare the Workpiece
Drill or bore a pilot hole through the workpiece.
The hole should match the minor dimension of the broach (i.e., just smaller than the square size).
Ensure the hole is centered and free of burrs.
Install the Live Center Tool
Mount the live center with the broaching tool in your lathe tailstock.
Ensure the broaching tool is securely locked in place with the grub screw.
Align the Lathe
Line up the live center and the chuck so they are perfectly concentric.
The broach should enter the pilot hole cleanly and without resistance.
Set the Speed
Broaching is a low-speed process.
Set your lathe to manual feed mode, ideally under 100 RPM if rotation is required (some setups use no rotation at all—just linear feed).
Begin Broaching
Advance the tailstock slowly and steadily.
Let the broach shave material gradually; do not force it.
Use cutting fluid (like light oil or tapping fluid) to improve finish and reduce tool wear.
Withdraw and Clear Chips
After each pass, retract the tailstock.
Clean chips from the broach flutes using a brush or air (never your fingers!).
You may need to make multiple light passes for deeper broaching.
Inspect the Broached Hole
Check for smoothness, squareness, and full depth.
Use a square broach gauge or test fit the corresponding square shaft.
💡 Pro Tips
For deep broaches, use intermediate shims or spacers to support multiple passes.
If broaching tough materials like stainless steel, reduce feed pressure and apply generous lubrication.
Keep broaches sharp and clean for best results
