So I would need two more Machines just to cut the splines?
They don't make a one machine that would do that?
Thanks Kurt

well it would be tooling for a mill .there is better jobs to use a mill for .you will spend more money buying tooling to cut the splines and less your going to do it all the time and have one mill just to spline axles .i done many jobs with my mill nice to have but i never cut my own axles on it . it takes some time to do set up then when done .you take your setup off the mill . then another job comes in and you have another setup moving the head angles .lets say cutting a intake or making header plates .you just have to ask your self how many axles do you want to cut
