Cinematic version of my #TMC2020 entry where I build a rotary broach.
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.
I also have a detailed version of the build here:

Plans available here:

Note; plans are revised based on my prototype, and are subject to change with improvements.
Drop a comment or an email 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.

This was a fun video to make!
I wanted to make it as cinematic feeling as I could being a one man band, while still showing the build. There were a lot of cinematography and lighting techniques that I learnt and I may do a 'making of' video. Let me know if you are interested in seeing this.
Big thank you to Emma and Steven for hosting and judging the competition entries this year
