/ Perfectly fitting profiles
From 3 to 24 mm, with consistent dimensions and a precise fit.
Fully manufactured in-house, allowing us to respond quickly and continuously monitor quality.
A gear on a shaft, a clutch on a hub, a pulley on a motor shaft: they all have one thing in common, the connection must be low-backlash and infallible.
With our internal broaching capacity, we create:
We combine machining with broaching and slotting in-house. The result? Shorter delivery times, no risk of quality loss, and lower total costs.
We broach keyway and cut keyway profiles for various applications – from compact precision parts to robust drive components.
Broaching specifications
With keyway broaching or slotting in a single clamping operation, the geometry remains concentric and aligned with the rest of the part.
This eliminates the need for post-processing or realignment.
Keyway broaching is primarily used for parts where rotation and power transmission come together.
Typical applications:
Do you have a shaft-hub connection that currently has too much play, or a design where you are unsure about the correct keyway dimension?
We are happy to brainstorm with you.
The great added value of BO-Solutions: we combine CNC turning/milling with broaching and numerous other finishing processes.
That gives you:
You supply a drawing, photo, 3D model, or existing part – we provide a manufacturable solution with the correct keyway class and tolerance.
Need a precision keyway machined or an existing connection optimized?
Provide us with a drawing or photo of the part. We will advise on the correct keyway width, fit, and machining sequence.

Broaching is a machining operation in which a special tool – the broach – is drawn (or pressed) through or along the material in a single continuous motion. The broach has a series of successive cutting teeth, each removing slightly more material. In this way, a precise profile is created in a single operation, for example, a keyway.
A broaching operation is the entire process in which, with the aid of a broach:
The major advantage of broaching is that you obtain a ready-made profile with accurate dimensions and shape in a single setup, without multiple consecutive milling or parting operations.
A broaching machine is used to:
In short: a broaching machine converts a single linear operation into a perfectly formed profile, ideal for parts used in drive trains and rotating systems.
