Re: Broaching guides
I also have a 1 ton press from harbor freight but I am going to use my 12 ton shop press with a guide on the ram to keep the broach aligned.

Faster than reading a book. There is over size by 0.003" and tapper keyways. If you miss the size too. Dave

Re: Broaching guides
Hello,Paul! It is not rocket science. I would keep the keyway clearance at .0005¡± to .001¡±. The closer the fit the less chance of wear.

Re: Broaching guides
I would look for 1940's maybe 1950's I have both books After that they become more difficult to under stand. In 1960's that start with more on product and by 1980's was going in CNC and writing was

Re: Broaching guides
If you have the broach, simply measure it's width (not the same as keyway width) and cut a channel to give a close fit - maybe a few thousandths larger. I have a 1 ton press from harbor freight to

Re: Broaching guides
I think looking for number. *"Machinerys HandBook¡±* could take days to find. The book one is 1930s and 1940's? easy to find information.? I have books from the 1941 to 1980's and have read the

Re: Broaching guides
I have one but it only tells me the keyway info, but nothing that I found about clearance that should be used for the width of the guide slot.

¡°Macherys HandBook¡± has all the data you need. I think the book may be available online. Dick

Samd as a keyway.. My self a motor driven would nice. The could use internal gear making. About stroke you need a max of ?"? would do most hobby work and keep thd hp of motor down. Dave

Re: Broaching guides
The depth I can calculate but I don't know how much clearance I should use for the width of the slot.

Re: Broaching guides
You can speed up the process by fitting a scrap plug in the bore & drilling a slightly smaller than desired key size hole, centered at the plug/bore intersection. Despite having a pretty

Re: Broaching guides
Here is a YouTube of using a lathe to make an internal keyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FafBDB0fUk You just use the carriage as the "reciprocating ram" that would be on a shaper. I've never

Re: Broaching guides
Someone explained that you can easily do it on the minilathe by using it as a shaper. So why go on about buying gadgets (let alone gadgets that cost $160!) We all have minilathes, so I suggest you

I have made about three of these guides and they worked. So I believe that makes me a psuedo-beginner-expert by you-tube standards. :) The slot for the broach needs to be cut such that the portion

Re: Mexican users of 7x12 lathe
Yes, an angle grinder is a great idea. (I think I've actually done it that way before, but I forgot to mention it!) There are two real problems with using barbell plates. The skin is the worst one.
