Ever wanted a tool to make Hex or Square heads in a bolt head or something? Surprise, its a $1500 tool! BUT, not that difficult to make!
I've attached what I think we can base our plans off of, it seems like a decent design, though I think some of the dimensions are wacky/don't make sense tome. I likely will want to spend some time trying to CAD it or something to make sure we get the dimensions right, but first we need to find ~4 members (Additionally, I'm pretty heavily into the dividing head project, so I'd like to get done with that work before I start my piece).
It looks like it is mostly lathe work, with 2 of the pieces requiring a mill, and nothing particularly large, so it should be cheap/easy to make and ship around.

Looks like we have all 4! Just about all the parts are made, except for the broaching bits, which ErichKeane is still working on. The rest of the parts are just awaiting assembly!
Final edit: All the parts are made and shipped! Congrats everyone!
