Re: HEX broach too big for our manual press
I have been doing shafts and broaching a long time. We always start the hex broach in the lathe with the piece in the chuck and a center in the tail stock.As we get 3 or 4 inches in we move to the arbor press but I find no problem doing the process in the lathe. Drill a big hole a lot more force then the broach. Yes arbor press is fine for broaching a keyway but that hex broach has to be straight Most of this work is in alumimun
