We are getting into semantics here. I'm using the verb "broach" and your are focused on the noun form. Yes, without a doubt, the broach used for the 1/2" square blind hole would look like a punch.

I have taken the liberty to copy a paragraph from vwbroaching.com. Put "www" in front of that for more info.

"Blind broaching refers to the machining of a piece part in which the broaching tool is unable to, because of the design of the part, pass completely through or completely past the part. The broach therefore must cut into a �blind� cavity of some sort. Designing the tooling for, and executing the process of blind broaching is very much an art that is reserved for the most experienced of craftsmen. V W Broaching Service is pleased to perform all types of blind broaching operations, from the most simple �punching� of a shape into a round hole, to more complex forms involving multiple passes using several tools. An example of a blind broaching operation would be the cutting of an internal hexagon into a headless setscrew."
