   Impressive. I thought before seeing this that a broach,pritchel, plasma arc and a water jet were pretty much it.

   Someone had to be thinking outside the square or is that inside the square to come up with that.

   I know this is an old thread but square hole drilling has been around for 50 years or longer. I ran a radial drill that squared the holes in the u joints for Cat grader shafts back in the mid 60s and I don't think it was a new process then.

    I missed this the first time around. I can't imagine the stresses that machine must go through moving the tool that fast!
