Re: Hex broaching in thick aluminum stock
For clarification
Can the broaching be done with a manual arbor press or with only a hydraulic press into the 1" stock?

Re: Hex broaching in thick aluminum stock
We have a manual arbor press and broached 1" think 6061 AL this year without a problem. Does take some muscle but not too bad.

Re: Hex broaching in thick aluminum stock
Could you it cut instead? Our waterjet sponsor had no issues cutting a 1/2 hex hole through 4 inches of 7075.

Don't know too much about broaching but if your still going to go your current route listen to everyone else above me.

Re: Hex broaching in thick aluminum stock
I mean... you can do what we did... wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
