If the relationship of a keyway to any outside features is required, should it be stated on the print, or just drawn that way ???
I have some parts with a keyway drawn on centerline at the bottom of the bore. There are some tapped holes on the face of the part, drawn 50 degrees from the centerline. We machined all of the features and sent the parts out to broach the key. Because the relationship was not specified, my vendor simply eyeballed the key.
My customer is now rejecting the parts, because they say they aren't to print. They say that because the key is called out to be central and that the tapped holes are called out 50 degrees from the same centerline, that it is already spelled out on the print. I disagree.
