CNC Broaching Tungsten from VT machining delivers precision Tungsten parts produced to your exact drawing. Broaching pushes a toothed tool through or across a part to form keyways, splines and internal profiles, and we tune every parameter to the behaviour of Tungsten, which is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance.
CNC Broaching Capability for Tungsten
- Keyways & splines
- Internal profiles
- One-pass forming
- High repeatability
How CNC Broaching Tungsten Works
Rotating multi-flute cutters remove material as the Tungsten workpiece is driven through programmed tool paths on 3-, 4- or 5-axis machining centres. Climb milling, step-over and depth-of-cut are set so chip load stays in the ideal band for the alloy.
Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.
Design Tips for CNC Broaching Tungsten
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Generous internal radii, sensible pocket depth-to-width ratios and avoiding very thin unsupported walls all reduce cost and improve accuracy in Tungsten. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
CNC Broaching Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Tungsten part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Working with Tungsten
As a material, Tungsten is extreme hardness, density and heat resistance. Our setup reflects the alloy's machinability so the finished part is accurate and free of avoidable defects.
We verify the exact grade and condition before machining, and traceable mill certs are available on request. We can work to your nominated material source or specification when required.
CNC Broaching Tolerances & Surface Finish
For CNC Broaching, dimensional and positional tolerances around ±0.01 mm are routine, tightening toward ±0.005 mm on precision setups. Surface finish on machined faces typically falls in the Ra 0.4–1.6 µm range depending on tooling and pass strategy.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Tungsten parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
Applications of CNC Broaching Tungsten

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Broaching Tungsten?
CNC Broaching prototypes for Tungsten can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Broaching on Tungsten?
Machined Tungsten edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
What surface finish is achievable on Tungsten with CNC Broaching?
Surface finish on Tungsten is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
What is CNC Broaching Tungsten and how is it done?
CNC Broaching Tungsten refers to broaching pushes a toothed tool through or across a part to form keyways, splines and internal profiles. Applied to Tungsten — extreme hardness, density and heat resistance — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom Tungsten parts to my drawing?
Yes. Tungsten Tungsten machining is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
