Spline cutting in the lathe

Cutting internal splines in the lathe using the top slide, indexing the work in the chuck using a change gear mounted to the headstock. Apologies for the shaky camera work, I was in a bit of a hurry to get the project finished and a little excited!

I’ve done them on the milling machine the same way with the brake on. Used a dividing head. Did it with one cutter, just fed in a couple thow at a time. Worked like a dream.

Nice work - I've done keyways in this style before. I was searching around to see if anyone had done female splines in the same way. I have a 6 tooth spline transmitting power to my milling machine spindle, and there is a fair amount of slop there, so I'm considering remaking that part. Thanks for the video! Cheers, Craig

Excellent video. Great idea to use the lathe as a makeshift shaper. I might steal that idea for my lathe.

i plan on doing this soon with my cnc lathe and a macro. it has a servo on the spindle so it is infinetly index-able.
