The broach assembly includes alternate spacers and cutters arranged in a sub-assembly having a lead at a leading end and a lag at a trailing end. The cutters have side margins in excess of the margins of the spacers for cutting material from the dovetail slots of the turbine wheel as the broach assembly passes through the slots. The bottom or apices of each spacer and cutter are tapered to form a continuously tapered surface along the bottom of the broach assembly. Upon passing the broach assembly through the slot, the assembly is progressively displaced in a radial outward direction to progressively cut the active dovetail slot surfaces. Shims may be disposed in the bottom of the slot to further displace the broach assembly radially outwardly in multiple passes.

A broach for internal broaching is formed on its pull end and/or follower end with a tapered surface machined with high accuracy. A pull head and/or a retrieving head of a broaching machine, which drivingly grip the pull end and the follower end the broach, is formed with a tapered inner surface complementary to the tapered surface of the broach. The pull head and the retrieving head grip the broach while pressing and clamping their tapered inner surface against the tapered surface, and these heads and the broach are firmly connected together. Clearances or gaps between the heads and the broach are thus eliminated, concentricity between the heads and the broach is significantly improved, and broaching can be performed with high accuracy.
