The company has earned widespread recognition for its ability to handle diverse broaching projects with precision and efficiency, from hand tools and medical implants to specialized cutting teeth for industrial applications.
Broaching remains a critical manufacturing process that enables the creation of intricate metal components. Ohio Broach has demonstrated remarkable versatility in this field, processing materials like cast iron, steel, brass, and aluminum into complex shapes with tight tolerances. The company’s expertise includes surface broaching for plier jaws and wrench open ends, internal broaching for keyways and splines, and specialized techniques like “on-the-fly” broaching for cutting teeth into saw blades.
