Broaching

Broaching is a multiple-tooth cutting operation with the tool reciprocating.
Since in broaching the machining operation is completed in a single-stroke as the teeth on the cutting tool, called broach, are at gradually increasing height corresponding to the feed per tooth of a milling cutter.
The shape of the broach determines the shape of the machined part.

Broaching was originally developed for machining internal keyways, but looking at the advantages, it has been extensively used in the mass production of automobile component manufacture for various other surfaces as well.
