Re: Broaching Sprockets
Yes. Hex or key broaching? If you are broaching a key, make sure you use no shims on the 1st plunge. then 1 shim and finally the 2nd. The shims should be part of your broach "kit." Hex broaching is a little easier, no shims needed.
2 things to remember, keep the tool straight so you get a straight key or hex perpendicular to the sprocket and use plenty of heavy oil for easier cutting and a better finish.
