removed by each tooth is 0.075 mm. If the pitch of broach tooth is 12 mm,
how long will be cutting portion of the broach have to be? How long will
it take to broach 1000 parts if the broaching speed is 10 mpm. The total
time allowed for return stroke, handling each part and placing the broach in
position for the cut is 1.5 minutes. [10+6]
