Push broach vs. pull broach: geometric and cutting differences Compared to a pull broach, a push broach typically: Choose the correct set of characteristics.

Difficulty: Easy

Has fewer teeth
Is short and stocky in form
Removes less material per pass
All of the above

Correct Answer: All of the above

Explanation:

Concept/Approach
Push broaches work in compression, so they are kept short and stiff to prevent buckling. They carry fewer progressive teeth and hence remove smaller stock per pass compared to long pull broaches that operate in tension.

Final Answer
All of the above
