Important size note: The order number indicates the nominal square size, while AF represents the reference cutting-profile dimension. Do not treat the listed AF as a guaranteed finished-hole dimension. Confirm the required finished square size, fit, corner geometry and tolerance before manufacturing. Non-stock or modified sizes are made to order.

Custom Manufacturing

Non-Stock Square Broaches — Made to Order

Beyond the reference sizes, PRONIXT can evaluate special square profiles and non-standard broaching tools according to your technical drawing and application.

What Can Be Customized?

Square AF size, profile length, shank dimensions, cutting geometry, material and coating can be reviewed according to the part drawing, machining conditions and production requirements.

Before Production

  • Confirm finished square size, tolerance and corner requirements
  • Confirm broaching depth, hole type and workpiece material
  • Check holder fit, shank requirements and application feasibility
  • Confirm quantity, quotation and manufacturing lead time

Technical Questions

Square Rotary Broach FAQ

Are the listed square rotary broaches in stock?

No stock availability is implied by this reference table. Square rotary broaches are offered on a made-to-order basis; please confirm production details, lead time and price before ordering.

Can PRONIXT produce non-stock square sizes?

Yes. Special AF sizes, profile lengths and shank dimensions can be evaluated and manufactured according to a confirmed technical drawing and the machining application.

How should the pilot hole be prepared?

The pilot-hole diameter, extra depth and lead chamfer depend on the required square size, broaching depth and workpiece material. Final preparation details are confirmed during technical review.

Is ±0.01 mm guaranteed on the machined square hole?

No. The quoted tool dimensional tolerance and the finished-part accuracy are different. Actual results depend on the machine, broaching holder, workpiece material and cutting conditions.
