I was thinking it would be like a mortiser, but this is pretty cool

Interisting looks like a block of Alum. I wonder how it would work on something harder.

I wonder if an American shop over there invented that bit, and the ChiComs stole it? I would like to think that we might be smarter than they are... Oh Well.

How far we have fallen in manufacturing technology!

That mortising bit won’t handle metal.

Wouldn't a square broach work just as well and take less time?

more like “cut” a square hole.

Pretty ingenious.

The toolpath diagram at 0:20 is really cool. It reminds me of a pattern created with a Spirograph.

Interesting but slow. I think I have made over 200 square 1/2” holes an hour with the broach.
