Default Re: Resplining a solid driveshaft

if you lay a straight edge across the end you'll see the sides of spline at 10 and 2 are straight in line with each other. 30 degrees? who cares, they are inline, horizontal so you can do it with your verticle mill. last time i made a jig to hold the piece to copy, but then the jig is in the way for test fitting. next time, i would use the center ford put in the end of the shaft, and drill and tap to hold a small chunk of spline on the end to copy. at the time i could not find any one to do it, even twin city gear said they had no cutter to do that and suggested doing it the old fashion way. welding the coupler would be easier, but you can do it yourself on your mill
