Tom, Thanks for the tips. I'll try out pre-drilling and using the end mill on my scrap block first. For the broach I was thinking of making an inline holder for the toolbit; something that looks like an end mill holder. That way all the forces would be inline with the broach and spindle.
Something like this although it would just be a round shank with a hole drilled in the center for the tool bit/broach and a set screw on the side to keep it from falling out.
