Morning all,
I need to make 8 off 12mm internal hex in 1/4" phenolic board and I was thinking of trying to make a simple broach on the lathe.
Am I wasing my time?
Plan was a bit of steel hex bar, turned to a taper with teeth cut down it, the end turned round with a M12 thread on the end. Then using a deep socket as a standoff, draw the broach through the plate using a nut and spanner.
Or should I just drill and file?
Thanks
Rich
