Lathe Work- Shaft Required
obr_technology - 21/5/14 at 12:55 PM

Hi,

Hopefully somebody will be glad of some beer tokens in exchange for two shafts I need making.

I've got the technical drawing and can supply the material if anyone is able to help.

To give an idea the pair of shafts are identical, roughly 200mm long and 34mm dia.

PM me if you can help and I'll send over the drawing or Solidworks file.

Cheers

Olly

Is your big shaft going to require much polishing!?

Sorry...couldn't resist.

Might be able to help if no one else can but I am pretty busy for the next week or so.

Sorry, this was meant to say 'LATHE WORK'!


obr_technology - 21/5/14 at 03:02 PM

Haha, yes lots of polishing!

I should have also asked if anyone knows anywhere i can get heat treating done as i will need the shafts and a couple of gears heat treating.

Is it just lathe work or does it involve splines etc.?

I'll PM you.

Got your PM, I have a lathe but do not any facility to cut the keyways accurately.

Thanks, i've got a mill at work so will ask if one of the lads could do the keyway for me.

If you don't mind i'll send over the drawing to see if it would be possible?
