Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary . In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to produce the cut.
Broaching can also be used to produce gear teeth and is particularly applicable to internal teeth. The process is rapid and produces fine surface finish with high dimensional accuracy. However, because broaches are expensive and a separate broach is required for each size of gear, this method is suitable mainly for high-quality production.
Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, [1] which utilizes machine tools, in contrast to additive manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing), which uses controlled addition of material. Machining is a major process of the manufacture of many metal products, but it can also be used on other materials such as wood , plastic , ceramic , and ...
Gear cutting is any machining process for creating a gear.The most common gear-cutting processes include hobbing, broaching, milling, grinding, and skiving.Such cutting operations may occur either after or instead of forming processes such as forging, extruding, investment casting, or sand casting.

Due to the even compression of the blanking process, the result is a flat part that may retain a specific level of flatness for additional manufacturing operations. Broaching: The process of removing material through the use of multiple cutting teeth, with each tooth cutting behind the other. A broaching die is often used to remove material ...
Grinding is a type of abrasive machining process which uses a grinding wheel as cutting tool. A wide variety of machines are used for grinding, best classified as portable or stationary: Portable power tools such as angle grinders, die grinders and cut-off saws; Stationary power tools such as bench grinders and cut-off saws
Metalworking is the process of shaping and reshaping metals in order to create useful objects, parts, assemblies, and large scale structures. As a term, it covers a wide and diverse range of processes, skills, and tools for producing objects on every scale: from huge ships , buildings, and bridges , down to precise engine parts and delicate ...
