Cut precision keyways—these sets include broaches, bushings, and the necessary shims. Each tooth’s cutting edge is a few thousandths of an inch larger than the one before. The cutting edges increase until they reach the required size. Broaches are for use in hand and hydraulic arbor presses and are great for maintenance and short-run production operations.

When broaching in multiple passes, shims slide between the broach and bushing to set the depth of the keyway.

Bushings rest inside the arbor hole of your workpiece. They have a slot that works as a guide for broaches. With bushings, you can use a single broach in a variety of arbor holes. Bushings for smaller arbor holes are collared for easier handling. The collar rests on top of the workpiece rather than being supported from below.

Note: Broaches have a style designation of A, B, B1, C, C1, D, D1, or E. For proper fit, broaches, bushings, and shims used together must have the same letter designation.
