A Comprehensive Guide to Splined Shaft Machining

Splined shafts are essential for high-precision torque transfer—but their design and machining are anything but simple. Splined shafts are cylindrical mechanical components with ridged teeth (splines) that transmit torque between connected parts. They’re used across aerospace, automotive, robotics, and industrial machinery applications, and demand tight tolerances and precision fitment for flawless operation. In this guide, […]

A Complete Guide to ISO 2768 CNC Machining Tolerance Standards

In CNC machining, precision is everything—but not every feature needs micrometer-level tolerances. When dimensions don’t have specific callouts, ISO 2768 offers a reliable, global standard that ensures functionality without overcomplicating your drawings. ISO 2768 defines general tolerances for linear, angular, and geometric features in the absence of explicitly stated tolerances. It’s essential for engineers and […]
