Has anyone tried to do broaching on a integrex 100 II SY internal broaching of a spline in the bore of the part i assume i need to do eia programing not mazatrol?

Never done it myself but I have always wondered how it would go. I think you could also use a manual unit in a mazatrol program if you wanted. Let us know what happens.

Would you be using a single point type tool or what?

We have done broaching on our Integrex 35Y machine. We have a macro that does the work for us.

I have done it in a Mazatrol program with a Mill Manual Unit. This was in a blind hole that had to have sharp corners.

yeh do it all the time.
there are 2 ways
the first is very long way were you write the program in iso in manual and write every line, dont forget to lock the chuck.
if you are doing 1000's of parts programing takes longer but you save in cycle time. also there are no graphics check.
my quick and favorite way is trick the machine thinking you are using a live tooling such as a drill and swap it over for a broaching tool. you have to take small increments and treat it like a shaping machine.
i do all my gear cutting this way
hope this helps
