As the name implies, Circle Broach provides customer comfort and assurance throughout the complete circle of designing, manufacturing, and using our broach tools. Proposals are furnished upon request, are designed to meet the customers needs, and to fit his existing equipment where possible. Orders received are entered into our computerized order tracking system and progress through our engineering department where designs, either new or existing, are subjected to the scrutiny of a team of broach engineers having in excess of 100 aggregate years of experience in broach design and application practice. Customer approval of new designs is always requested. Once released by the engineering department, material is ordered and the desired manufacturing schedule is confirmed by our in-house computerized tracking system to assure the allocation of equipment and manpower necessary to meet the customers requested delivery date. The manufacturing cycle is supervised by our highly trained staff of manufacturing, quality control, and inspection personnel. Numerous CNC manufacturing equipment are employed to further enhance the quality of the tools produced. All tools are fully inspected and quite often, when requested, approval parts can be broached and inspected for total part print compliance prior to shipment. The availability of this test broaching service of course depends upon the availability of production part blanks and suitable equipment, tooling, and special gaging apparatus. The circle is not necessarily complete when the tool is shipped. The Circle Broach staff of engineers and technicians is not only available for consultation during the design and build stages, but service also extends to the customer's shop floor. Upon request, qualified Circle Broach personnel will not only advise on and/or troubleshoot the operation of the tool and equipment but provide suggestions regarding such things as part processing, gaging and inspection, types and applications of coolant, and tool handling and maintenance. Quite often this last segment of the circle is the most important.
