Hex Socket Broaching.

[Anorak Bob]

I think there is better material out there in regards to rotary broaching, although nobody could deny broach in the video above is certainly simple!

Bob if you want to persist in smacking hex keys through with ever bigger hammers, you may have better luck grinding the hex with similar front rake and side clearance as the rotary broaches.

I never made it to the persisting stage Pete and the only hammer I used was the Thor to remove the " broach ". I've moved on from hex key broaching.

Oh come on Bob, don't be like that, that's why different sized hammers were invented ... there's always a bigger hammer to solve the problem

Seriously though, good decision. I look forward to seeing the rotary "Boboach" in the next few weeks, no doubt comprising impeccable workmanship as always.
