Internal splines

Internal splines

(OP)
I'm sure that this is an easy question for most, but I am wondering how an internal spline is cut.  For that matter, how is an external spline cut.

RE: Internal splines

Internal splines are often broached. They could be cut in a  shaping machine at a  pinch. The world's your lobster for external splines- they could be rolled, cut in a  shaper machine, milled, or I suppose even carved out with a chisel. Basically any way you can make a gear.

 

Cheers
