I ensured the bottoms of the broached area was clean AND bit was in line AND

used a quality bit. Even though the bit looks good, I might not use it again.

I know how to make gears, machine splines, and broach parts.

I used to make parts from USA-1 monster truck axles to valves for the Space Shuttle.
