BROACH TOOLS
New Keyway Broach Manufacturing
From standard keyway broaches to fully custom designs, we manufacture tooling to meet your exact application. Whether you're producing a single prototype or supplying high-volume production, our engineering team can design and manufacture broaches for virtually any keyway configuration.
Our capabilities include:
Standard and custom keyway broaches
Inch and metric sizes
Special widths and lengths
High-speed steel and premium tool materials
Precision ground cutting geometry
Built to print or reverse engineered from existing tooling
Our goal is to maximize tool life while delivering superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy.
Premium PVD Coatings
To further improve wear resistance and increase production life, Custom Keyways offers advanced PVD coating options for both new and reground keyway broaches.
TiN (Titanium Nitride)
TiN provides excellent general-purpose wear resistance while reducing friction and improving chip flow. It is an ideal coating for many steel and non-ferrous machining applications.
Alcrona Pro®
Alcrona Pro is a high-performance coating designed for demanding production environments. It offers exceptional heat resistance, superior wear protection, and significantly longer tool life when machining difficult materials.
Dyna Blue TiCN
Dyna Blue TiCN provides increased hardness and outstanding abrasion resistance. Its low coefficient of friction helps reduce cutting forces while improving performance in abrasive materials and high-production applications.
Our team can recommend the best coating based on your workpiece material, production volume, and machining conditions.
Built for Production
Whether you require a single replacement broach or ongoing tooling support for high-volume manufacturing, Custom Keyways is committed to delivering reliable solutions backed by expert craftsmanship, precision inspection, and responsive customer service.
From new manufacturing and engineering support to sharpening, recoating, and repair, we help manufacturers maximize productivity while reducing tooling costs.

Precision Keyway Broaches
At Custom Keyways, we manufacture and service high-performance keyway broaches for manufacturers across North America. Whether you need a new broach built to print, a replacement for an existing tool, or professional sharpening and recoating services, our experienced team delivers precision tooling designed for maximum performance and long service life.
Our keyway broaches are manufactured from premium high-speed steel and advanced tooling materials to provide exceptional accuracy, durability, and consistent cutting performance. Every tool is produced to tight tolerances and thoroughly inspected to ensure reliable results in demanding production environments.
Precision Sharpening & Regrinding
Over time, even the highest-quality broaches lose cutting efficiency. Our precision sharpening and regrinding services restore your keyway broaches to peak performance while maintaining the original cutting geometry and dimensional accuracy.
Every tool is carefully inspected before sharpening to evaluate wear, damage, and remaining service life. Our experienced technicians use precision grinding equipment to restore cutting edges, minimize material removal, and extend the life of your tooling whenever possible.
Benefits include:
Extended tool life
Improved surface finish
Reduced cutting forces
Lower tooling costs
Consistent production quality
If required, we can also repair damaged broaches or recommend modifications to improve performance in your application.
