6 m × 100 mm shaft, four non-standard keyways
Machine shop- Problem
- A 6 metre shaft, 100 mm diameter, needed four keyways that were not on any standard spacing. A stockholder’s ‘we don’t slot that’ was the other quote.
- What Arrow did
- Turned and slotted on the XYZ BRM bed mill in Salford. Four non-standard keyways, one setup.
- Outcome
- One shaft, to drawing, from the same site that holds the couplings it fits.
