Considering using a Mori-Seiki MV-45 mill and indexer as a slotter to cut internal involute splines in a blind hole. The bore is 1.5" diameter X 2" depth in 8620. Low volume part, 5-10 pieces/month.
Would using the mill as a shaper be bad for the machine? It's well made heavy mill, would it do well with light .002" passes?
Any suggestions on making a proper cutter to do this?
