You have to buy an Arbor Press and Broaches.

We have a 10 ton press from harbor freight and then we bought a 3/8ths and 1/2 hex broach. Arbor was about $200 and then the broaches were donated via sponsor.

We too got our 1/2" broach donated about 5 years ago. If you want to save yourself some dough, contact a DuMont Sales Rep and beg. We agreed to put their name on our robot and sent them a nice picture plaque at the end of the season.
