Your thread has given me room for thought about making a rotary broach seams quite simple. my depth will be around 9/16 on this project and its in an 3/8ths round stock at an angle of 30 deg but there is room to put a champher on in fact its a mini boring bar i am designing ..

All the best, Matthew |

Mathew I actually own a diefiler and i with this machine filed into shape the square hole to size from the pilot hole took me 20 minuets to get it into shape. I want a straight action a broach gives, If I make 20 boring bars the investment of making a rotary broach will be a pay-off , also the tool will service me on other projects for square hole broaching...
