Automotive Broaching Center
A multi-station broaching system for transmission gears, CVT components, and axle shafts in vehicle production, designed for high-volume automotive supplier equipment. It is not numerically controlled as a single machine, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This system is used for efficient metal removal in automotive manufacturing.

Aerospace Broaching Machine
A precision broacher for turbine blade roots, landing gear splines, and engine mount keyways with tight tolerances, commonly used in aerospace manufacturing. It is not numerically controlled, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This machine is designed for high-spec metal removal in critical applications.
Cermet Broaching Machine
Machine tools specifically designed for broaching cermet materials used in cutting tool inserts and wear parts. These machines are not numerically controlled and are explicitly covered by this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. They are used for metal removal in cermet processing, a specialized application.
CNC Vertical Broaching Machine
A numerically controlled vertical broaching machine designed for high-precision internal and external broaching of metal parts, commonly used in automotive and aerospace manufacturing. It removes material using a series of progressively shaped teeth, and its CNC control allows for complex profiles and tight tolerances. This machine is not numerically controlled as per the sibling item 8461.30.10, so it falls under this tariff item for other broaching machines.
Continuous Chain Broaching Machine
A chain-driven broach carrier for high-speed, continuous broaching of small parts like gears or fasteners, designed for mass production. It is not numerically controlled, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This machine is suited for high-volume metalworking applications.
Continuous CNC Broaching Line
An automated continuous broaching production line that processes multiple splines on CVT transmission shafts simultaneously, removing metal progressively across multiple stations for high throughput. The line is numerically controlled, but as a complete system, it is not classified under the numerically controlled item for single machines. It falls under this tariff item as an 'other' broaching machine.
Heavy Duty Broaching Machine
A large-scale broacher for ship propellers, turbine housings, and heavy forgings up to 50 tons, designed for substantial metal removal in heavy industry. It is not numerically controlled, so it falls under this tariff item for 'other' broaching machines. This machine is used for heavy-duty broaching operations.
