Thorrez Industries, Inc. offers broaching as a key part of our comprehensive precision machining capabilities. When your component designs call for highly accurate internal or external shapes like keyways, splines, or custom contours, precision metal broaching provides a fast, repeatable solution.
We serve a variety of industries, including automotive, defense, agricultural equipment, and industrial machinery. Whether you’re producing high-volume parts or need tight-tolerance features, our in-house broaching services ensure clean finishes, dimensional accuracy, and rapid throughput.
What Is Broaching?
Broaching is a machining process that removes material with a toothed tool, known as a broach, which passes over or through a workpiece in a single stroke. It’s ideal for cutting precise, complex shapes—particularly in internal geometries that are difficult or impossible to machine with traditional tools.
At C. Thorrez Industries, Inc., our broaching equipment is optimized for both internal and surface applications. From cutting keyways to forming non-round holes and splines, our machines are capable of producing intricate features with exceptional speed and consistency.
Benefits of Precision Metal Broaching
Broaching is known for delivering extremely accurate and repeatable results—even on high-volume production runs. Here’s why manufacturers rely on this process:
- High Precision in a Single Pass
With just one stroke, broaching delivers accurate geometries and smooth surface finishes—reducing the need for secondary operations. - Excellent Repeatability
Once a broach is set up, it produces the same feature consistently across thousands of parts. - Speed and Efficiency
Compared to milling or shaping, broaching often completes a feature in a fraction of the time, which helps reduce total cycle times. - Versatile Applications
Broaching is used to machine keyways, hexes, involute splines, round holes, D-slots, and many other forms with complex profiles.
When your project demands precision, speed, and repeatability, precision metal broaching is one of the most efficient ways to achieve high-quality results.
Materials We Work With
Our department is equipped to handle a wide range of metals and alloys, including:
- Carbon and alloy steels
- Stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Aluminum
- Brass and bronze
Whether your component is hardened or soft, our tools and techniques ensure clean, accurate cuts that meet the strictest dimensional tolerances.
Broaching as Part of Integrated Precision Machining
At C. Thorrez Industries, Inc., broaching isn’t a standalone service—it’s part of a larger system of precision machining. Our customers benefit from the ability to combine broaching with CNC turning, milling, centerless grinding, and expert assembly all under one roof.
This fully integrated approach simplifies your supply chain, improves turnaround times, and provides a single point of contact from raw material to finished product.
Our Commitment to Quality
Every broached part is subject to in-process inspection and post-operation quality checks. We maintain ISO 9001 certification and follow strict documentation procedures to ensure consistency, traceability, and compliance with your exact specifications.
We also support PPAP submissions and are equipped to meet the quality standards of Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers, among other demanding industries.
