Slater Tools' new indexable punch broach toolholder facilitates punch or index broaching on a CNC lathe or mill. When rotary broaching is not an option due to the need to remove full form, excessive material and/or depth, static punch broaching is the preferred method of CNC broaching.

By only removing a portion of the form and indexing the tool or workpiece, stationary broaching can be achieved on CNC machines. Keyways, six lobes, hexagons and other broach tool configurations are available as full or indexable forms.
