Default Rotary broaching

Anyone familiar with a rotary broaching tool made by Slater? The tool
itself consists of a shank ( straight or MT taper) and a rotating
broaching-bit chuck offset 1 degree in the axial. Bits are chucked in
the rotating chuck and, in a manual lathe, the shank goes into the
tailstock. The workpiece rotates as the bit is plunged into the
workpiece. The result is a broached hole, shape determined by the the
broaching bit. My question: what if you wanted to broach a workpiece
that can't be rotated, and wanted to use the tool in a mill quill, would
that work?

cheers
