Broaching vs. Forging a Square Recess
Broaching vs. Forging a Square Recess
(OP)
Hi all,
I have a drill driver shaft (0.33" diameter) that needs to have a square recess (3/4" depth) machined into one end. I'm just wondering what the typical/best process would be for this operation. Would it be better to forge or broach this recess? The length of one side of the square for the recess is 0.150". Ideally I'm looking at a tolerance of +/-0.001". Also, any idea how much it might cost to have a shop make a few prototypes of this before production? Suggestions of machine shops in the US would be helpful. Also places that I can have this forged.
Thanks,
M
