BROACHING A KEYWAY IN A PULLEY tubalcain

This is how to broach a key slot (keyway) in a pulley. I am cutting a 3/16" wide slot in a 5/8" bore aluminum pulley. This DAKE #0 ARBOR PRESS is a 1 1/2 Ton capacity.

thanks, I never knew how that was done. Very interesting.

OT I got a few files at the flea market, look pretty new, but there is a little rust on one of them. Can I clean them by soaking in vinegar?

Thanks, Tony

@mrbreezeet1 Yes--that might work

I don't mean to be blunt, but wouldn't it be better to clean those chips with a paint brush rather than rapping that brittle broach against the bench and possibly breaking it ? And maybe a big C clamp to hold that thing down so it don't slip and cause an injury ?

I do thank you for showing how this is done, good job.

[mrpete222]

Yes--well advised. But it was so damn cold out there I was trying to get done.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention!!!

This is the kind of thing "You Tube" is great for....Learning from those who know how to do things.

I dont waste my time making negative comments, fools I just ignore.

mrpete222, YOU ARE THE MAN!! If for nothing more than tolerating the freezing temps. WAIT.... You are REALLY THE MAN for using "sanctity" when describing the space where you (and those of us like you) "make it happen". Bless you, sir and God Bless America.

Rust wont hurt a file, it will, in fact, sharpen them. One of the old time ways to sharpen files is to leave them out in the rain. The way files get dull is the tips get rounded over. Rusting corrodes the metal which removes the rounded over tips.
