Many machine shops vend out the broaching process to specialty broaching houses when there are splines required in the part they are manufacturing. A CNC Broach Tool client recently explained that they shipped thousands of parts a month across the country and 20% of those parts, a 30 year US Navy legacy part, would come back scrapped. The client wanted to bring the spline broaching process into their own machine shop to save on shipping time and control their own destiny as a manufacturer. But when the client asked the broaching house for the return of the special spline tooling…
