[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 657123, member: 25383"] you are right, but it can be done as well. If your machining the flutes in a piece of steel by itself your right. But you can then do a couple things to add a compressive stress into the metal surface that will make it every so slightly stiffer (and I do mean slightly!). But in the end all you've done is open the bore up in the process. Ideally a spline could be rolled into the barrel surface I guess, and then finish out the bore, but I've never seen a spline roller capable of doing two foot or longer surfaces. So in the end it's a moote point. The problem with milling splines is the the circular motion of the cutter will create more problems than anybody cares to have. In something like a planer it would be better I suppose. gary [/QUOTE]
