As long as you have the broach you need, the bushing is the easy part. Make your own to whatever size you need. I've got two broach sets but neither one of them includes a 3 inch bushing!

The broach is sitting on the plastic tube it came in 'cuze it still had that sticky stuff on it and I didn't want to set it on the floor.  The broach came from Shars (discount_machine on ebay) and was a B style for around $34 with free shipping.  The bushing was from H&H Industrial Supply (also on ebay) and was around $6.  The third thing is just an MT2 drift since the two I have are really old and look more like a broach than a drift!

For using the broach, I found a YouTube video that showed the process.  Although the video used an arbor press, I'm doing a couple of 8" wheels and they don't fit in my arbor press so I'll be using the shop press for it.

I considered making my own but had no idea how deep the slot needed to be. Now that I have a real bushing I have a reference for any others I need to make.

I picked up a box of these a couple of years ago from a clearing sale- sadly I don't have a press so I've yet to have the pleasure of using them. The box contains what appears to be the remnant of several sets, quite a few of them are broken so obviously care is required in their use. I believe the broaches used in industry now are pulled, rather than pushed, through the work.

I have a keyway broach set, that goes from 1/2" up to 1-9/16", that was a gift from my wife's uncle.

I also have a powered unit from National Machine Tool company, out of Cincinnati, Ohio. It fits in a drill press, with a rotation rod, much like a tapping head assembly, that has a cutting wheel that is drive by the drill press, that cuts the keyway slot. It has a 3/4" shaft  and cuts a 3/16" keyway, somewhat limited, in use. I also have spacers to go up to a 1-1/4" bore, but at that bore size, a 3/16" keyway is usually too small.

below is an internet picture of the type of cutters, I'm talking about

Heavy duty ....nice

The picture has a lot of information, I can understand better now how the tool works.

Thanks
