That's called a rotary broach, and last time I looked they were pretty
pricey.



I think actually a different beast as a rotary broach has the same form as
the shape it cuts whereas a square hole drill has 3 cutting edges as shown
here http://www.integerspin.co.uk/polygon.htm and operates in a different
manner to a typical rotary broach.


Ok, maybe, but Polygon calls them rotary broaches.
