Slotting

Vertical slotting machines for internal keyways splines and square holes.

The Problem

What This Category Is Really For

An internal keyway in a gear or pulley bore cannot be reached by a milling cutter. Broaching solves it if you have the broach and the volume; below that, a slotting machine is the only way to cut an internal keyway without sending the part out.

  • Cuts internal keyways splines and square holes that milling cannot reach
  • Vertical ram configuration for through and blind internal features
  • No broach tooling investment required for one-off and small-batch work

FAQ

Slotting Questions

Slotting machine or broaching?

Broaching wins on volume once you own the broach. Slotting wins on one-off and mixed work because the tooling is a simple form tool rather than a broach per size.

Can it cut blind internal keyways?

Yes, within the stroke and clearance of the machine. Send us the bore diameter, keyway size and depth and we will confirm.
