I watched the progressive broach in operation at Tonawanda, but it was totally enclosed - so it wasn’t possible to see it cut. It was the first machining station just adjacent to the foundry finishing department - so the blocks would come out of the foundry & could be positioned on the broach indexing conveyor while they were still warm.
