so here's a shot of how I broached the keyway. And can anyone tell me the name of that high pressure green lube I have swabbed on the broach, I know it comes in a white plastic jar.

It's probably extreme pressure grease made by this company. I have a tube of it. It's commonly used on dead centers and available from McMaster.

I would like to see some more details on your broaching tool. I assume you made that?

Thanks,
