# Talk:Broaching (metalworking)

Why do History of Buddhism, 14th Lok Sabha and 
Nicolaus of Damascus link to here?  I think we need a {{disambig}} page here. 198.164.135.56 21:50, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Links fixed with  broach occurences redirected to Bharuch, disambig created for brooch (jewellery). — Graibeard – talk Graibeard 06:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

I have reverted the reference to the google articles page. The link goes to a search results page. The reader is then left to wade through multiple articles, many of which are not applicable. It's probably OK to cite a specific article; or better yet, summarize any worthy content.--gargoyle888 11:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I've handled rotary broaches (though I don't have one to photograph) and I'm still struggling to understand that section of the article. Would benefit greatly from an illustration or photo showing the relevant deatils! Myself248 08:43, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Here is a diagram illustrating the rotary broaching process and an rendering of a hexagon rotary broach

"Rotary broaching" is not a proper noun. It refers to a class of broaches, not a single one. Please provide a source, otherwise I'm switching it back. For guidelines that pertain to this please see MOS:CAPS, Wikipedia:Proper names, and WP:V. Wizard191 (talk) 22:42, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

As of this writing, the history section says that broaching was applied to rifling after WWI. This occurred earlier according to Roe 1916:194. I also remember reading somewhere that one company in particular, the Lapointe company, played a huge role in the development of broaching practice, kind of like Norton with grinding. Roe 1916 mentions Lapointe only in passing, but somewhere I read more detail about this. Anyway, Google Books probably is the place to search more. I don't have time presently, but I'm recording my thoughts here for further workup later. — ¾-10 01:37, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Update: I just idly revisited that Roe 1916 page and realized that Roe does not specify what was being broached. It may have been any of the cuts besides the rifling itself. Oh well, it is still true that someday I will see about finding and adding more history info. — ¾-10 22:42, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

The action of broaching a piece is not described in the lede, beyond specifying that the broach can be moved against the piece or vice versa. The action should be described immediately after "Broaching is a machining operation which uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material." ᛭ LokiClock (talk) 21:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I added a sentence. Thanks for the note. Wizard191 (talk) 16:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
I also contributed my bit to explaining/elaborating: "A broach is effectively a collection of single-point cutting tools arrayed in sequence, cutting one after the other; its cut is analogous to multiple passes of a shaper." I hope it has value. — ¾-10 00:36, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

This [1] has a lot of free images that might be able to help the article. Wizard191 (talk) 18:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I am a rotary broach manufacturer and would like to help clear some of these questions up, including providing an image. However, I am new(rookie) to wikipedia editing, and need help. First, maybe I can create a diagram/image. Please let me know where to put it when it is done. Thanks, Peter

first, thanks for nice article, second, may I suggest that for many people, an analogy to a rasp or file would help ?
As I understand broaching, it is automated rasp action, except that the tool is designed to do a single pass
