Types of Broach Tools

What are the different types of Broach Tools?

A broach tool (usually called, simply, a broach) is similarly shaped to a long drill bit or saw, except the height of the teeth increases over the length of the tool. The desired outcome of the broaching process determines the type of broach that will be used to accomplish the task. The most common types of broaches are included in the following drawing:
