Overview

• Bright provides a smooth, polished finish on the tool
• It increases chip flow in softer materials such as aluminum, wood and plastic
• High speed steel (HSS) provides good wear resistance and can be used in general purpose applications for both ferrous and nonferrous materials
• Keyway broaches are used for producing keyway-shaped holes in a workpiece
• They may be used with shims if the depth cannot be broached in a single pass
• They also require a guide bushing for producing the keyway.
