Re: Hex Broaching?
it might be expensive, and depending on what you are broaching, a arbor press might be "light weight"... we use a hydraulic press most of the time.....
we have used an edm to do it before, (mill a hex out of brass and chuck it in a sinker edm)
as long as you drill the clearance hole to the correct size, you shouldn't have any problems with your broach running straight......
if you plan on broaching thick material, it helps to mill (cnc) a hex to start with, then use the broach to square the corners.... thats what we do for our wheels, it cuts broaching time in 1/8!!!!
