    I am a Computer network eng. and have kidded several of my clients who own machine tool and die shops "how do you make a square hole with a round bit ?" They always ignore me. Bingo you cant ! You just explained a broach !!! BUT YOU GOT MY attention when you said …keep your stick on the ice… Wisdom and as a goalie who is always scanning looking at the possible place on the ice from where the puck can come…having all 5 of your defense player with he blade on the ice square to the shot… THAT is wisdom you also are presenting ! I salute you Ice Hockey Player …Stick Down Gloves up !

    Thank you! I was looking at a lot of rotary broach tool videos, vut this was the first one that made it clear which parts of the tool were spinning relative to what. The simplicity of the tool made the technique MUCH more clear. 👨‍🎓

    Worked like a charm. Someone had used the chuck key to remove a stuck chuck for my old atlas lathe. I can do the threading to make a new chuck screw – but how the hell am I going to make a square blind hole for the chuck key?? Just like you showed me – thats how! Thanks
