The whole flow

Send your print, get a quote.

Three steps from drawing to delivered tool. Most quotes go out the same business day.

01

Send the print

Upload a PDF, DXF, photo, or a marked-up sketch. Width, depth, length, and bore size are all we need to start.

02

We quote it

A toolmaker reviews the geometry, confirms anything unclear, and sends price and lead time — same day where we can.

03

We cut & ship

Approve it and we make your one-off broach to print, check it, and ship — US-primary, worldwide on request.

PDF · DXF · DWG · image — or describe it in notes below. Tenths and tolerances welcome.

Reference · ANSI B17.1

Standard keyway sizes.

Square parallel keys by shaft diameter. A starting point for your spec — your print always governs the cut.

Shaft diameter (incl.)Key widthWidth (dec.)Nom. hub depth

Nominal hub depth shown as W ÷ 2 for square keys (half the key seats in the hub). Rectangular keys, set-screw flats, and special depths are no problem — note them on your print. Need it in metric or a non-standard width? Send it over.
