Broaching & Splining

Incorporating both roughing and finishing, broaching is favoured for its efficiency - especially within the toolmaking sphere.

A broach is a tool which is used to remove metal material as required. If linear broaching is used, this tool is directed linearly against the component’s surface. If axial-symmetry is required within the cut, then the tool is rotated - this process is otherwise known as rotary broaching.

To help you to get the best possible response, prices and right type of suppliers in contact with you, please be as specific as you can. For example by letting the potential supplier know if there could be future work available might produce better quotes.

Your details

What is the best method for suppliers to contact you?

We will be putting suppliers in contact with you directly so they can quote your project. Some suppliers may have questions so they can quote you correctly. Additionally, most suppliers usually like to follow up to see how they got on and all we ask is that you provide them with feedback, whether they have won the project or not. With this in mind what is the best method to reach you on (you can choose both)?
