Bar-Plate Broachers

Broaching is simply the machining of a channel in the side of the cutting knife for the purpose of:

 Eliminating swaging (increasing knife height) at the bend point of the knife.

 Eliminating cracking of the face or edge of the knife.

 Eliminating knife edge distortion.

 Allowing a minimum radius to be achieved.

 Allowing the use of harder knife even on sharp bends and complex shapes.

 Effectively bending side bevel knife.

 Producing a "Kiss-Cut" precision die.

 Allowing for the manufacturing of a superior die in less time.

 Saving time and material.

 Reducing Makeready time on press.

 Allowing for consistent diecut part quality.

3 Achieving greater press productivity.

Up to the present time most machining of a channel was done with expensive grinding equipment that quite often changed the temper of the knife unless a coolant was used.The use of a coolant often times led to corrosion.

Bar-Plate's new Broaching equipment has no effect on temper. Our new Cost-Effective Hand Broacher and Semi Automatic Broacher puts this important diemaking tool within easy reach of all die shops.

 Hand Broacher-Model I

Our Hand Broacher is a cost-effective and easy-to-use machine that will easily meet the needs of the professional diemaker.With fast, simple and precise set up this tool is a must for all serious diemakers. Our exclusive spring loaded double pin clamping feature securely holds the knife in place while broaching. For use on 2pt and 3pt knife. Model I broaches to a depth of .008". Change over takes less than two minutes and is achieved by loosening two hex head bolts, removing one and sliding the 2pt or 3pt selector and then reinserting and tightening the bolts.The Side Gauge can be set from 0 to 16.5" and is easily used. Operation is simple, just pull the double pin handle, insert the rule, oil the broach and pull the main broaching handle down and then up and you're finished.

 

Hand Broacher-Model II

The BEST just got BETTER. Our NEW Model II Broacher is designed to do everything the Model I can and more.You now have the ability to broach to a depth of .016" on both 2pt and 3pt rule. This means you can easily make those butt joints with no need for mitering. You end up with a stronger & tighter joint. You will no longer have to change miter knives to adapt for changing knife angles.

It's so easy we have made it mistake proof.After the first broach, simply pull the release lever slightly forward, push in the release and slide the adjustment bar to the 2nd cut position. Pull the broaching handle down and you're done. Here's the best part- when you release the knife, the adjustment bar returns automatically to the 1st position. The same procedure works on both 2pt & 3pt rule.To change from 2pt to 3pt simply push in the release and slide the adjustment bar to the required position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Appel Semi-Automatic Broacher

 

 Semi Automatic Broacher

We have two models to choose from. Both models are electric and pneumatically operated. Model 1 has an automatic oiler and chip
remover as well as foot pedal and hand actuation. Model 2 has foot
pedal and hand actuation. Designed for the shop that expects to do
a lot of broaching but does not want to expend the dollars for a
fully automated broacher. Either machine has a basic side guide.
