Broaching Tools - Steelmans Broaches

Pot broaching is a specialized and efficient external broaching process used for mass production, particularly for creating splines and other external forms on cylindrical workpieces.   Instead of the workpiece passing through a stationary tool, the process involves a "pot," or a hollow fixture containing multiple broaching tools, which the workpiece is pushed through.  This method is highly effective for applications requiring high precision and a superior surface finish in a single pass. What is a Pot Broaching Machine? A pot broaching machine is a machine tool that performs the pot broaching process. It's a type of vertical broaching machine where the workpiece is pushed or pulled through a stationary broach holder, or "pot."  The pot is a cylindrical fixture containing a series of cutting inserts, each progressively larger than the last. As the workpiece passes through the pot, these tools work together to simultaneously cut the entire external profile, suc...
