We have a shaft that is 1.875 dia. 10 splines. Splines are worn looks to be 3/16-.1875 wide in the btm. The sides look to be tapered. I looked in the ENCO cat. All the cutters look to be straight like woodruff cutter. Does this take a special cutter, what is it called?? Thank You. Earl

Many splined shafts are cut on a Barber-Coleman Gear hobber, using a complex set-up. There are special formed cutters available to cut splines on a horizonal milling machine, but they are very expensive.

I had to build a splined shaft that I couldn't find a cutter for. I ground a lathe bit to fit and used a fly cutter to make the splines. It was slow but it worked great.

It would probably take a cutter that was custom shaped to do them. We have a small machine shop setup but have never gotten into cutting splines ourself. Usually the place we take them to has to grind a milling cutter to match whatever the spline profile happens to be. If you think about say a 4" shaft with 10 splines, it's gonna have a different profile than a 1" shaft with 10 splines. This would hold true for whatever shaft size and spline combination you happen to run up on, so to have a generic cutter to do all different splnes would be almost impossible to do. Some splines arn't milled, their cut with a shaper, but even so the same thing would apply, you'd have to have the shapers cutting tool ground to obtain the correct profile on the spline.

Thanks for the reply. We are trying to repair the splines on the stub shaft on a GP Deere rear drive where the small drive sprocket mounts. It is just held on shaft with snap ring so it has about 1/3 spline worn away. Earl

Earl, if there is room to let the wheel run out, you could get a machine shop to grind the splines after welding. Bad thing is ,unless you have a friend able to do complex form grinding, it would probably be cheaper to buy a replacement shaft.
