Unlocking Precision:

Custom Broaches from Pilot Precision

At Factory Link Inc., we understand that no two machining challenges are the same. Off-the-shelf tools don’t always deliver the exact results manufacturers need — and that’s where custom broaching solutions from Pilot Precision make all the difference.

Why Broaching Matters

Broaching is one of the fastest, most efficient methods for creating internal and external shapes, keyways, splines, and other complex forms. With the right tool, shops can achieve:

  • Tight tolerances on critical features
  • Excellent surface finishes in fewer operations
  • High repeatability for both prototype and production runs

But the “right tool” often means more than standard geometry — it means a custom broach designed for your part and your process.

Pilot Precision’s Custom Advantage

Pilot Precision has built a reputation as one of North America’s leading broach and cutting tool experts. Their team works directly with manufacturers to design and produce custom broaches that:

✔ Match your exact specifications — from spline profiles to unique form features
✔ 
Optimize performance for your material, whether it’s aluminum, steel, titanium, or exotic alloys
✔ 
Reduce cycle times by cutting shapes in one efficient pass
✔ 
Extend tool life with premium materials, coatings, and heat treatment options

Applications Across Industries
