Cutting Data

Material Tensile Strength (Ibs/in²) Feed rate (in/min) In-feed per stroke (inch)
58.000-94.000 276-354 .0024-.0035

101.000-123.000 197-256 .0016-.0028
130.500-145.000 157-217 .0012-.0022
160.500-174.000 118-177 .0008-.0016

The cutting data above is an initial recommendation and depends on the machine condition, workpiece
profile and the application clamping

A relief groove is highly recommended, if not possible a gradual volume decrease
should be made at the end of the broaching groove

The HK tool must be positioned outside of the hole/groove before each stroke
After setup and first stroke, we recommend to observe the tool and the application to
make sure no collision occurred
