Slater Tools, Inc., announces the release of a new adjustment-free rotary broaching tool holder designed for Swiss-type machines. These tools are increasingly popular due to their use in aerospace and medical applications, such as orthopedic bone screws and other micro-fastener products. Slater’s new adjustment-free design allows the operator to use the tool holder without the need for centering. The new rotary broaching tool holder’s sleek design is the smallest in the industry, which eliminates interference and clearance problems and provides easy access to the grease fitting for maintenance. The adjustment-free rotary broaching tool holder is manufactured with the same quality and reliability as the company’s current rotary broaching tool holders. There are thousands of Slater’s rotary broaching tool holders in use throughout the world. The new tool holder uses the standard 1.25” length rotary broaches, available from stock. This length allows for deeper broaching than current non-adjustable rotary broaches and tool holders. The adjustment-free rotary broaching tool holder is used for any type CNC, Swiss, or manual turning, milling, drilling, or screw machine.
Rotary broaching—also called hex or wobble broaching—uses a precision tool to produce an internal form inside a pre-drilled hole. The result is a polygon form that matches the shape of the broach. For instance, a square broach measuring 1/4” produces a square hole of the same size. Broaches are available from Slater Tools as squares, hexagons, splines, serrations, and other polygon forms. Delivery times are the fastest in the industry. Rotary broaching is also a popular money saving technique since forms can be created within seconds using the primary machine spindle without having to add secondary machining and operations for production.
