What is broaching?

Broaching is a precision machining process used to remove material from components. A toothed tool – called a broach – is passed along or through a blank object in one consistent motion. Depending on the broach used, the process can create a circular hole, an irregular exterior shape, a keyway or a geometric shape, among many others.

What is a spline?

A spline is formed when keyways are aligned around a hole. Splines can have any number of teeth, and the teeth can be shaped straight-sided, involute, or helical. Splines are mainly used to connect driven components in machines and vehicles, such as gear shifters on motorcycles and clamps for engine shafts. Straight sided spline broaching is among the broaching services offered by VW Broaching. Other types of broaching available are:

• Hex
• Square
• ‘D’
• Double D
• Oval
• Circle
• Any geometric shape
