1. Longer tool life,more sharpenings, and more piece production between sharpenings.
2. A modest increase in tool price can yield substantial production increases, decreasing per piece cost significantly.
3. In many instances, honing has been minimized, and in some cases eliminated by the use of "Heli-Kut" broaches.
4. "Heli-Kut" broaches solve the problems of broaching short lengths of cuts due to constant tooth engagement in the part.
5. "Heli-Kut" broaches eliminate machine chatter and lessens part distortion, providing superior part finish.
6. Virtual elimination of breakout at the exit edges of the work piece.
