Order of the work

1. Draw draft of the round broach, which is given by tutor. Show design and geometrical elements of the
broach (Fig. 9.1);

Fig. 9.1 Elements of the round pull broach: l1 is length of the pull end; l2 is length of the neck; l3 is length of the front
taper; l4 is length of the front pilot; l5 is length of the cutting section; l6 is length of the sizing section; l7 is length of the
rear pilot; l is length of the broach; d1, d2 are diameters of the pull end; d3 is diameter of the neck; d4 is diameter
of
the front pilot; d5 is diameter of the rear pilot; t is pitch of teeth; f is width of the margin; is relief angle of the cutting
teeth; 1 is relief angle of the sizing teeth; is rake angle of teeth

2. Measure by the caliper following elements of the broach: length of the pull end l1, length of the neck l2,
length of the front taper l3, length of the front pilot l4, length of the cutting section l5, length of the sizing
section l6, length of the rear pilot l7, width of the margin of the sizing teeth f and pitch of the teeth of the
cutting and the sizing section t. Present measured dimensions on the draft of the broach;
3. Calculate full length of the broach l. Present results on the draft;
4. Measure by micrometer following diameters of parts of the broach: diameters of the pull end d1, d2,
diameter of the neck d3, diameter of the front pilot d4, diameter of the rear pilot d5. Present measured
diameters on the draft of the broach;

5. Measure by micrometer diameters of cutting and sizing teeth of the broach (diameters of sizing teeth are
the same and we can measure only diameter of one tooth). Present results of measuring in Table 9.1;
6. Calculate increase of the radius of cutting teeth by formula:

ai

d i d i 1
2

(9.1)
where ai is increase of the radius of the cutting tooth, mm; di is diameter of the next cutting tooth, mm; di-1 is diameter of
the previous cutting tooth, mm.

Present results of calculation in Table 9.1;

Group out cutting teeth by increase of diameter on roughing cutting teeth and semifinishing teeth (in case
if the increase of diameter ai decreases at the end of cutting section of the broach). Present results in Table
9.1;
8. Measure by goniometer (see laboratory work Nr.5, s.8) relief angle of one cutting tooth and of one
sizing tooth (sizing section has a cylindrical margin f, where relief angle is equal to zero and we can
measure only angle 1 (Fig. 9.1)). Count the relief angle anticlockwise from zero to stroke, which
corresponds to sign. Present results of measuring on the draft of the broach;
9. Measure by goniometer (see laboratory work Nr.5, s.9) rake angle of one cutting tooth and of one
sizing tooth. Count the rake angle clockwise from zero to stroke, which corresponds to sign.
Present results of measuring on the draft of the broach;
10. Fix the broach between centers and measure by indicator radial run out of the pull end, neck, front pilot,
one cutting tooth, one sizing tooth and rear pilot. Present results on the draft of the broach;
11. Establish arithmetical mean of divergence of surface roughness Ra of following parts of the broach: of the
pull end, of the neck, of the front pilot, of one cutting tooth, of one sizing tooth and of the rear pilot by
comparing with surface roughness standards. Present results on the draft of the broach;
