Re: Key-Way for Gates Sprockets
If you are going to use an arbor press make sure the press is large enough so that the broach/sprocket length distance will fit into the press. A 3 ton Grizzly arbor press has a working height of 11 1/8 inches. While a 1 ton only has a working height of 5 inches. It really doesn't take a lot of force to broach a small keyway slot but the equipment must be able to open up enough for your work piece to fit.
