So that’s how splines are cut, very cool. Wish I had a lathe......and knew how to work one 😄
Thanks for showing that. This whole process is riveting. There is an illustrated book in this whole project 👍🏻
Brilliant Rob, how do you accurately turn the chuck for each spline 'cut' ?
The major O.D. is turned down in the lathe, then it's off to the mill. The mill has a rotary table with indexing plates that accurately divide 360 deg. into the number of required splines. (32 in this case so 11.25 deg/index) The fit is achieved using thread wire gauges and a lot of measuring.
