For over a decade, duMONT CNC has been leading the way in CNC broaching—transforming the way manufacturers convert round holes into precision shapes like keyways, splines, hexes, squares, and virtually any custom profile imaginable. While broaching is nothing new to the industry, integrating it directly into the machining cycle is a game-changer that many shops are still just beginning to understand.
From Traditional Broaching to In-Cycle Efficiency
Traditionally, broaching was a secondary operation, often requiring additional setups, operators, and machines. And for decades, duMONT and Hassay Savage—now part of Pilot Precision Products—have been the trusted names in high-quality, durable broaching tools used in these standalone operations.
But the manufacturing world is evolving.
Today’s shops are under more pressure than ever to streamline operations, reduce cycle times, and increase profitability. That’s where CNC broaching comes in. By integrating broaching operations into the CNC machining cycle, manufacturers are eliminating secondary processes, cutting costs, and winning more quotes thanks to increased efficiency and lower part prices.
Why CNC Broaching? Why Now?
Here’s what sets CNC broaching apart—and why your shop should be considering it:
- ✅ Done-in-one machining: Eliminate the need for secondary broaching setups.
- ✅ Higher throughput: Reduce cycle time and increase part output.
- ✅ Improved part consistency: Machine tool repeatability ensures uniform quality.
- ✅ Fewer setups, less WIP: Streamline your workflow and free up labor.
At Pilot Precision Products, we’ve built our CNC broaching program to help customers take full advantage of these benefits. Whether you're using standard off-the-shelf tools or need custom shapes, our engineering team is here to assist with programming support and tooling design.
Slotting at the Speed of Innovation
While traditional broach tools that use the CNC machine’s axis are highly effective, our duMONT CNC Slotter takes things to the next level. Designed for CNC lathes with live tooling and a Y-axis, this motorized slotting tool achieves reciprocating feed rates of up to 1,900 inches per minute—making it the fastest way to broach on a CNC platform.
That’s right: this means your in-machine broaching operation can now outperform standalone secondary machines in both speed and flexibility. Need a custom interface? No problem—our slotters are in stock, and we’ll build the interface to match your specific machine and application.
Unmatched Tooling, Backed by Experts
Whether you're using a vertical mill, turning center, or multitasking machine, our CNC broaching solutions are built with the same first-pass quality and long-life durability our legacy tools are known for. And if one of our hundreds of in-stock tools isn’t the right fit, we’ll design one that is—often shipping within 24 hours or less.
With thousands of satisfied customers worldwide, duMONT CNC has become the go-to authority for shops ready to boost productivity and embrace the future of precision machining.
