Rotary Broaching at WESTEC

Slater Tools Inc. will be displaying their new 0700 series Swiss Type Adjustment Free Rotary Broaching Tool Holders at the 2009 WESTEC Advanced Productivity Exposition in Los Angeles, California. Released in 2008, the 0700 series tool holders are used for producing hexagon and square holes in metal parts while eliminating secondary operations. This technique has long been known to screw machine operators, but has continued to be adapted for Swiss type CNC machines and machining centers. Swiss type rotary broaching tools are important in the aerospace and medical industries, making orthopedic bone screws and small fastener products.
