Here is a video of a machine used to cut square holes.
The last part of the video is in slow motion for enhanced detail.

Wow! I've been to two county fairs and a goat roping and never seen anything like that!

Most of us could probably do at least that well with a hand file.

Thanks for that tip. I've got a whole box of square pegs that I couldn't use before unless rounded with a file, as Phu Cat suggests.

OTH, the square peg analogy usually refers to people who are misfits. I know a few of those. Let's see...besides me, of course, there's S..., B..., G..., C..., T..., etc, etc. I'm sure you can build your own list pretty quickly.

I can just about fill the entire alphabet.
I do have an abundance of MMMM's though.

I spent 20+ years in the Cutting tool industry and never saw anything like that. That being said, it looks more like an Endmill operation, meaning either the table or machine head is making small movements.

yep small vary fast movements
come to think about it ,,,seems like I've spent most of my life feeling like a round peg being forced into a vary tight-restrictive square hole
