A broaching machine may include a broaching tool and a moving mechanism. The broaching tool may be movably arranged in a spindle of a lathe in a horizontal direction to machine a workpiece fixed to a chucking mechanism of the lathe. The moving mechanism may move the broaching tool in the horizontal direction. Thus, a process for forming a hole through the workpiece using the lathe and a process for machining the inner surface of the hole using the broaching machine may be continuously performed so that a time for machining the workpiece may be remarkably reduced. Further, the process for forming the hole through the workpiece using the lathe and the process for machining the inner surface of the hole using the broaching machine may be continuously performed on the workpiece fixed to the chucking mechanism to suppress dimension failures of the workpiece.

A grooving tool configured to form a substantially V-groove shaped breaking promotion portion for breaking and splitting a large end part of a connection rod at the large end part along a cutting direction, comprising a rough-machining blade to cut a peripheral surface of a penetrating hole provided at the large end part, a finishing blade to finish a portion cut by the rough-machining blade, and a support member supporting the rough-machining blade and the finishing blade in order along a direction opposite to the cutting direction, wherein the rough-machining blade is configured such that a height h1 of its blade tip from a bottom face of a first cutting-blade attachment portion is lower than a height h2 of a blade tip of the finishing blade which is made of a higher-hardness material than the rough-machining blade.
