The Broach is too long, and therefore we cant really use it.

Are there any solutions anyone has for this kind of a problem?
Will cutting the Broach somewhere in the middle, and therefore doing 2 presses every time we make a part work?

thanks!
DON'T CUT THE BROACH!!!!!!

Get a larger hydraulic press, trust me. Harbor Freight sells them or Amazon or wherever. It's worth the investment if you plan on broaching hex.
