Slater Tools 3700 series adjustment-free rotary broaching toolholder is the largest holder of its type produced by the company. Unlike the first two series of adjustment-free holders, which were produced for Swiss-type machines, this toolholder features a larger bearing capacity capable of producing larger forms. Rotary broaching tools are popular in turning and milling machines for creating internal and external forms on the machine while eliminating secondary operations. The larger range of forms capable of being produced by this toolholder will make it the most versatile of all of the company’s adjustment-free models.
The most common forms made with rotary broaching tools are hexagon and square holes. The 3700 series toolholder also accepts special broaches, which can be used to create double hex, double square, serration, spline and other custom forms.
