Easy Rotary Broach Tool Grinding

Alternate methods of rotary broach tool grinding. Hex and square broach tools can be made using a lathe, mill or bench grinder

A rotary broach lets you cut internal (and external) features such as a hex, spline or a square into an existing hole. This is very useful to make custom tools.

Note; plans are revised based on my prototype, and are subject to change with improvements.

Drop a comment or an email (go to my 'about page' for email address) if you are interested in buying a rotary broach tool or just the tool bits themselves. If I get enough interest, I will make a batch.

MAKE SURE YOU COVER YOUR WAYS BEFORE GRINDING
I didn't cover my lathe as well as I should have but I made sure to thoroughly wipe everything afterwards
