Exactly what I said after I bought mine. When you need one they are worth their weight in gold.
I would love to get a set but having no press of any kind would make it useless for me.

For small broaches like that, I just use the quill on my mill to push them through. It doesn't take much.

I bought a HF arbor press many years ago for a project that never happened. It took longer to clean the decades of crud off it that it took to press the broach through.
But I think for sizes that small, a drill press would be more than enough.

I'm blaming you and Tom, I ordered the broach set.

Hold that thought Ed.

I'm blaming you (again) EdK.

Inside is nice, too:
And after just a few minutes with the arbor press, this is the result:
Cutters are very sharp, and all the parts appear very well made. 1/2" bushing was a nice slip fit in the 1/2" bore of the part. Since the bushing and shim are both shorter than the part, I ran it through from both ends. I am pleased with this purchase, and wish I had gotten it years ago.
So much easier than doing it on a lathe or in a shaper.

Got the broach set along with a chunk of brass I need for a future project. Both from ebay.
