I could be mistaken, but I don't believe broaching is *technically* drilling. They both bore holes sure but I think semantically a broach doesn't "drill". How did he think atypical holes are made?
‘Mathematics seems to prove that you can’t make a square hole with a spinning bit, but lathe workers do it anyway because they don’t care what mathematicians think’
I was waiting for the punchline as well. How can you possible spin a tool with a hex profile and produce a hex profile in the workpiece? Even now that I see that the tool and the workpiece are spinning together, I'm still not entirely sure I understand how the off-axis nature of the broach makes it work.
I mean, its actually a common technique used by machinist all the time, nothing magical about Broaching. that said, Tony just Makes the best videos about all this stuff.
But where was the red one ? I was waiting for the red one and it never appeared. I'm sukling. Also, for some strange reason, once he'd put the pen down, it stopped changing colour - how come ?
I'm not a machinist, not into machine type work, I am actually a cabinet maker, but, you make this very very interesting to watch, your videos are awesome!!
I just figured it out. Our favorite machinist was a wise ass, one time too many, in school, so they assigned him to shop class. "Let's see how funny he thinks machine tools are." Thank goodness for RUclips. Most comedy clubs aren't wired to accommodate a lathe.. 🤷♂️
It's much easier to see when this is done in a mill rather than a lathe. Then it's just a wobbly broach, and the chisel analogy is easier to understand.
I am trying--really, really trying--to stay happy and contented with my nice, reasonably well-equipped wood shop. But people like you, TOTony, are making my contentment with all things sawdust wear thinner with each passing, magically-edited, dad-joke-filled video.
Y'know, I always remember ToT having the best editing on RUclips. Then I watch one of his videos, and remember that I was wrong. RUclips cannot contain this majesty. This is the best editing for any visual media.
Well said. I was ready to "attack". I love your lead in. (Got me wondering!) He is so good. Thanks, Nosnorbin. You have put things into perspective. Tony is going to be called on to "at least" write for mainstream productions. He may not want that, though. I don't know. Tough business.
20 years ago he would have had his own show on cable. This is what I love about RUclips! Despite all the politics and crap, we still have these excellent productions. Hope it lasts!
One of the best things I like about your channel is your ability to explain kind of complex stuff to dummies like .e. Your camera work is also awesome. Thank you a bunch...honest.
Yeah, that was an interesting video. Didn't have much of an idea of what a "broach" or "broaching" was until after watching this entire video. An engaging video from the start. Made me want to..uh, watch more. Hehe.
Well, the DuMont company in New Jersey makes the best there are. I inherited a bunch of broaches from my grandfather and one day noticed they were all branded "DUMONT". Thought he just marked them. This rotary broach system is pure genius. And Tony's explanation of "Howzit do dat" gets 5 stars.

Hey this old tony. I love you, this old tony. When you upload, this old tony, I click right away, this old tony You’re my adopted and only dad now, this old tony❤️
I couldn't for the life of me see the advantage of the rotary broach over just pushing a hex straight down in a press. Now I know about the slight wobble, makes perfect sense now! Thanks, great video!.
I could watch this old Tony cracking wise and making stuff all day. The dad jokes are 24 karat gold and the quality of his work is amazing. You'd struggle to find a company to make an adaptor that beautifully these days without needing to remortgage. Beautiful work sir! May the farce be with you!
Hey This Old Tony, I am looking for an opinion before I just go and do what I'm going to do any. I have no delusion that you watch my videos or know what my project is. Anyway, I am needing to fabricate a pile of special brass bolts for my hand. I wanted to do torx heads. Did you I u consider using a torx driver bit that was reground to provide the clearance angle to roto broach, rather than buying tooling? Lmk if you have thoughts on the matter. Thanjs, Ian
@@fixitrightolson2110 I've seen a couple different wobble broach holders for sale on Ebay between $200 and $400 usd. I have no idea how good they are. Probably OK for hobbyists. Name brand start at $1000 as in sure you're aware.
Poly wash bottles (AKA squirt bottles) are wonderful not only around the lab, but also the home and shop. I have about a dozen of them and use them for 3 kinds of oil, plain water, soapy water, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, and acetone. You can dispense 1 drop or a stream. I like them because they are spill-resistant and work upright from full to empty.
My first reaction was: wow this is genius, I need one for those custom bolts I never make. Then I saw the price and thought, you know what, those M8 Allen bolts aren’t so bad after all!
The moment you said a broach can have any form, I thought you would introduce the heart shaped broach. At least you mentioned it, that really gave me the feel that someone is on the same wavelength with me... although it might be an invisible wavelength with no use. :P Love your videos :)
Indeed. Ought to work with plain old round things too, using a slotted tube to distribute the pressure from the chuck teeth so they don't leave indentations in softer materials.
I'm a 53 year old man and I just clapped my hands and said "oh boy!" when I saw the notice. But I'm still trying to understand how a rotating hex shaped cutter imparts the hex shape hole....I'll go have to go get some hex bits and tilt it a few deg and check it out!
I maintain a fleet of model train locomotives for a museum. The Athearn brand have brass flywheels with hex drive shafts! I will be making my own real soon, thanks to you! OUTSTANDING!!
I love learning this kind of content. Especially with your humorous stories and small comments. The premature video cuts also are... just perfect! Don’t stope making videos. I love this.
I busted out laughing so hard when I saw that, then the .1" depth of cut popped up and that slayed me lmao. I aught to make a little video like that showing our Monarch at work, we can take 1/2" cuts with that beast. It's weird hearing chips hit the ground that sound like solid chunks of steel lol, they have that "ting" sound you only get with thick and hard pieces of steel.
I'm a retired mechanic and resurrect a 1960's wood lathe, I powered it with a variable DC motor retaining the original indexing 4 step pulleys, I found new bearings for the arbor and mounted my motor in a beautiful floating motor mount , I made my own live stock tail end it has a #1 Morris Taper and have drill chucks for it as well, I'm going to try broaching with it, Ive already done a few non wood projects with it.
Great video as usual, you might want to keep an eye on the galvanic corrosion/electrolysis with bronze /brass with aluminum, I might not be an issue for this application but something to think about. Thanks keep up the good work!
I always wondered how they cut hex holes! Never knew about broaches till date. Amazing explanation. You are a good teacher. And who made this video. Thanks to him/her also. Excellent editing, almost like those professional 6 figure salary movie editors.
I can’t tell you how inspirational your videos are, and then I hit the shop and get frustrated that projects take me longer than 14:58 :-). Keep up the good work.
I really thought Tony was being his usual funny guy. At the the end of the video ,now realise, it is an actual proper tool . Wow. .I have pushed hex allen keys into steel rods to make a very long allen key that we needed. Wow. Thank you Tony. Regards Don.
@@tracylemme1375 That's assuming his mill is 2MT, and even if it is he could have a 3/4" 5C or ER collet already I'd rather leave that shank alone and make an adapter, just because...; Peter Slutsky , Good idea, and not too hard since he just made one. MT's with a tang are typically used on lathe tailstocks and drill presses, and are just jammed home. You need the tang to be able to drive them out with a wedge. MT's with a threaded hole in the end are meant for tools with a draw bar. In a pinch you can make up a short tang with treads that screws into the end of a draw bar MT to give it double duty.. I don't believe there's any reason to harden them for occasional use.
Adapters from 30 mill taper to 2mt are everywhere. A 3mt/2mt sleeve should be with every lathe with a 3mt tailstock quill. The tang is used not only for removal but also to help drive the tool. The taper of a tool should never be hardened except with a nondriving tool ie live center. This allows the tapers to conform with each other.
Re. His next vid. There you go, he's got a 3/4" tool holder for that Bridgeport style taper shank. Yes, lots of adapters available, and more you can make, I think I've got most of them . It's likely that you introduce some error that may or may not be important with everything you add between the quill and the tool, though. Real question, not argument; how does a tang aid tool insertion?
Thanks, I watched another video where someone used one, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it needed to spin. So, I looked it up, and watched the first video I saw, yours! You did a fantastic job of explaining it in layman's terms.
You really should make some round broaches. They would make a nice addition to your tool set.
That's the most ToT comment I've ever seen. Well played sir
Got beer up my nose, couldn't hold the laughter long enough.
Bahahaha
I’d kill for some round broaches
OK, so, hear me out. What if you put a little helical groove up the side of the broach. Then the metal shavings would be free to leave.
Seriously, the best editing on RUclips .
Indeed.

I could watch this old Tony cracking wise and making stuff all day. The dad jokes are 24 karat gold and the quality of his work is amazing. You'd struggle to find a company to make an adaptor that beautifully these days without needing to remortgage. Beautiful work sir! May the farce be with you!
Hey This Old Tony, I am looking for an opinion before I just go and do what I'm going to do any. I have no delusion that you watch my videos or know what my project is. Anyway, I am needing to fabricate a pile of special brass bolts for my hand. I wanted to do torx heads. Did you I u consider using a torx driver bit that was reground to provide the clearance angle to roto broach, rather than buying tooling? Lmk if you have thoughts on the matter. Thanjs, Ian
I really hope this comment reaches TOT's eyes. Both of you continuously blow my mind
Hey you're the hand guy! I love your work! It's almost enough to make me want to lose half my hand.
Almost.
I am certain that new plug will improve your performance.
Thanks now I'm heading over to Ebay to spend $300 on something I never knew existed before. But I can't imagine life without one now. 😯
ware can you find a rotary broach for $300 ?
@@fixitrightolson2110 I've seen a couple different wobble broach holders for sale on Ebay between $200 and $400 usd. I have no idea how good they are. Probably OK for hobbyists. Name brand start at $1000 as in sure you're aware.
I am an engineer but I had never come across these, I learnt summat new today. Thanks.
Poly wash bottles (AKA squirt bottles) are wonderful not only around the lab, but also the home and shop. I have about a dozen of them and use them for 3 kinds of oil, plain water, soapy water, paint thinner, lacquer thinner, and acetone. You can dispense 1 drop or a stream. I like them because they are spill-resistant and work upright from full to empty.
My first reaction was: wow this is genius, I need one for those custom bolts I never make. Then I saw the price and thought, you know what, those M8 Allen bolts aren’t so bad after all!
The moment you said a broach can have any form, I thought you would introduce the heart shaped broach. At least you mentioned it, that really gave me the feel that someone is on the same wavelength with me... although it might be an invisible wavelength with no use. :P
Love your videos :)
An invisible wavelength with no use...
Cosmic microwave background, being in touch with the origin must be quite nice I think
When we used to run these on our swiss style screw machines we almost always ran these tools at 0.0004"/rev at 1000rpm
ToT's camera shots are [the] BEST angles, depth of field, etc., just that it's straight up ART!
I can't begin to describe why i love this channel so much.
Great video as always. Loved the split nut in the lathe trick. One for the ole memory bank.... Thanks Tony!
Indeed. Ought to work with plain old round things too, using a slotted tube to distribute the pressure from the chuck teeth so they don't leave indentations in softer materials.
I'm a simple man, when I see a video about rotary broaching, I click on it.
Make sure you put a nice strong magnet inside the can so it stays on the machine.
The wobbly chisel analogy worked for me. Thank you.
The wobbling chisel is what solidified the concept for me!
I've been waiting, hoping, and praying.
That was a damn smooth Weeble reference.
TOT pops up when you holding the phone. I click in so fast, my finger cramps
I'm a 53 year old man and I just clapped my hands and said "oh boy!" when I saw the notice. But I'm still trying to understand how a rotating hex shaped cutter imparts the hex shape hole....I'll go have to go get some hex bits and tilt it a few deg and check it out!
@@hansangb Did your lights go out? I'm 56 and every time I clap my hands, something shuts off or turns on. Damndest thing.
@@hansangb Just so you know, I am really 56 and I meant no disrespect. :-) I am sure you get the reference! ;-)
@@jlucasound of course I do. And because I'm 53, I can appreciate humor. That made me laugh!
I maintain a fleet of model train locomotives for a museum. The Athearn brand have brass flywheels with hex drive shafts! I will be making my own real soon, thanks to you! OUTSTANDING!!
The dry humor is just genius. As a machine shop owner, the rest of the video is fun to watch as well.
I hesitate to broach the subject, but making a Morse-tapered toolholder is a shankless Endeavour.

They got some new-fangled gas taps in the physics lab. The teacher told me he was told that they were pupil proof after I'd dismantled it.
I love learning this kind of content. Especially with your humorous stories and small comments. The premature video cuts also are... just perfect! Don’t stope making videos. I love this.
Great explanation I'm a swiss-type machinist and have used rotary broaches for years!
1minute in and I give a BIG thumbs up for cinematography and music! Drama... and humor...
The best editing on utube..... keep it up Tony!!
I will not have the sharpness of my chisels maligned, good sir! *kicks box top closed and under the work bench*
Shall I prepare the dueling handplanes sir?
Released Aug 4th, 2019. After the can remark, he'll be eating McDonald's and sleeping in the garage for at least another 3 weeks.
I fully expected the Mag pie sound effect again at the end, and was rewarded with a sly grin on my face. Another well done video, TOT!
Tony you’re the go to guy. Thanks for the videos. 😊
Oh, RUclips is recommending a "This Old Tony" vid.
Wait... a recommendation that's not over 3 years old?!?! Are you okay, youtube?!
Nice marker shenanigans😂😂
Nothing wrong with a can that's got a few hours on 'er
Depends is that rental, fleet use, or one owner?
I just seem to keep going back to this broach video, its gotta be one of my favourite.
You know - if it wasn't for your superbly informative, brilliantly edited and humorous content, I wouldn't even bother with your stuff.
Trouble filming hexes consult a wiccan.
James Schrumm - excellent lololol
You ring?
A hard drive magnet in your new oil can will pull chips off your brush and keep it in place on any metal surface👍🏻
@@antrygrevok6440 what type of magnets do you think are used in hard drives??
@@antrygrevok6440 ....and the right oil........lol
@5:00 firing shots at Solid-Tool-Post-ers, made me laugh hard.
I busted out laughing so hard when I saw that, then the .1" depth of cut popped up and that slayed me lmao. I aught to make a little video like that showing our Monarch at work, we can take 1/2" cuts with that beast. It's weird hearing chips hit the ground that sound like solid chunks of steel lol, they have that "ting" sound you only get with thick and hard pieces of steel.
I'm a retired mechanic and resurrect a 1960's wood lathe, I powered it with a variable DC motor retaining the original indexing 4 step pulleys, I found new bearings for the arbor and mounted my motor in a beautiful floating motor mount , I made my own live stock tail end it has a #1 Morris Taper and have drill chucks for it as well, I'm going to try broaching with it, Ive already done a few non wood projects with it.
Admiring ingenuity. Excellent in explaining Rotary broach thank you
Great video as usual, you might want to keep an eye on the galvanic corrosion/electrolysis with bronze /brass with aluminum, I might not be an issue for this application but something to think about. Thanks keep up the good work!
I always wondered how they cut hex holes! Never knew about broaches till date. Amazing explanation. You are a good teacher. And who made this video. Thanks to him/her also. Excellent editing, almost like those professional 6 figure salary movie editors.
"An edge-of-your-seat thriller!"
"Magpies everywhere are talking about it!"
"Tony really outdid himself this time!"
"That Sharpie is soooo big!😍🥰😊)
This Old Tony, you rock. These videos are amazing. Thank you.
I can’t tell you how inspirational your videos are, and then I hit the shop and get frustrated that projects take me longer than 14:58 :-). Keep up the good work.
Dang! A ToT video about broaching! How did I deserve this?!
you've been good. OldTony's watching.
Thank You! This week I turned more material to parts than scrap, I guess that counts! I wish it happened more often though.
2:49
anyone else wish they could subscribe a hundred times because this old tony is so special?
Yes
3:20 people who "caught" me watching your videos on speaker unfriended me
Ahhh the art of making tool and die funny and a great laugh no one but you can do that LOVE THAT. Keep up the great work
I really thought Tony was being his usual funny guy. At the the end of the video ,now realise, it is an actual proper tool . Wow. .I have pushed hex allen keys into steel rods to make a very long allen key that we needed. Wow. Thank you Tony. Regards Don.
Been machining 15 years, i never knew you could use a drift to remove the tools form a tailstock. always just wound the thing back lol.
*glances at bearing puller in hand, quickly hides it behind back* ....yyyyeah. Yeah! Me too!
"Hey Stefan, hey Robin, check out what my lathe can do!"

Rpbin Renzetti removed the compound on his HLVH in favor of increased rigidity.
Tony, please do a video on making morse tapers. Angles, why do they need tangs, should i harden them,
etc. Thank you! Love your videos!
A #2MT machined on the shank of the rotary broach would allow it to be used on both the lathe and mill with obtainable adapters
@@tracylemme1375 That's assuming his mill is 2MT, and even if it is he could have a 3/4" 5C or ER collet already I'd rather leave that shank alone and make an adapter, just because...;
Peter Slutsky
, Good idea, and not too hard since he just made one. MT's with a tang are typically used on lathe tailstocks and drill presses, and are just jammed home. You need the tang to be able to drive them out with a wedge. MT's with a threaded hole in the end are meant for tools with a draw bar. In a pinch you can make up a short tang with treads that screws into the end of a draw bar MT to give it double duty.. I don't believe there's any reason to harden them for occasional use.
Adapters from 30 mill taper to 2mt are everywhere. A 3mt/2mt sleeve should be with every lathe with a 3mt tailstock quill.
The tang is used not only for removal but also to help drive the tool. The taper of a tool should never be hardened except with a nondriving tool ie live center. This allows the tapers to conform with each other.
Re. His next vid. There you go, he's got a 3/4" tool holder for that Bridgeport style taper shank.
Yes, lots of adapters available, and more you can make, I think I've got most of them . It's likely that you introduce some error that may or may not be important with everything you add between the quill and the tool, though.
Real question, not argument; how does a tang aid tool insertion?
Your videos are much better than all of TV shows I have watched .
Thanks, I watched another video where someone used one, and couldn't for the life of me figure out why it needed to spin. So, I looked it up, and watched the first video I saw, yours! You did a fantastic job of explaining it in layman's terms.
