Insert Broaching on a CNC Lathe
Insert broaching technology is designed to produce keyways, grooves and slots on a CNC lathe.
Indexable-Insert-Style Broaching Tool for CNC Lathes
Razorform Tools' indexable-insert style broaching tool for use in CNC lathes with locking spindle broaches keyways from 1/8" to 1/2". The TiN-coated razor sharp carbide insert lasts three to four times as long as brazed carbide inserts.

When broaching internal keyways, everyone has their favorite method—vertical slotting, wobble or rotary broaching or push or pull broaching. However, the engineers at this Baldor plant are going with a different method.
Profile/Sharpen Multiple Form Tool Inserts Quickly
If you use carbide insert-type form tools on your screw machines and/or lathes, here’s a simple, relatively low cost way to profile and resharpen the inserts in multiples, getting the job done in a fraction of the time it would take to process them individually.
