I want to make internal splined shafts. How do people do it? I have seen some info, but no suppliers, just a few random videos or links without sources. I have seen a few rotary broaching tools, but not a supplier of the tool or tooling. I have seen people using a mill or lathe like a shaper with a single tooth cutter that plunges into the piece. I also recall seeing air powered shapers that could be mounted on a lathe at some trade show, but I don't know if it can only cut a keyway or if it can cut splines.
I am using a large mill, a Deckel FP50CC/T and a Hardinge Superslant with a rebuilt controller that we can add any IO as desired. The Deckel is an old PLC (Dialog 11) but the Hardinge is running LinuxCNC and I can write any code there. I can lock the spindle at any angle.
I am looking at broaching holes for 22mm and 50mm shafts.
