Single Point Broaching on Lathe


Recommended Posts

I've looked all over and I can't find anything that tells me how to program a broach on a C/Y lathe.  I have a flywheel that I'm trying to program that has a keyway on a tapered bore that I want to single point broach.  Can anyone tell me how to do it or point me to a tutorial about it?

Thanks,

Mike

Do it all the time here... Horn has some great offerings.

As far as the CNC goes. I just program the the whole path of the keyway in G1.  Seems to be faster than G1 cut and G0 rapid out.  Depending on the machine you will need to add a G or M code to feed with no spindle rpm and Feed per minute instead of feed per rev..

Have had success with Broaching Alum & steel at pretty high feeds (F250. ipm)  Approx. .005/.01 stepover.
