Cutting splines on a Dana 44 front axle shaft. As I mention in the video, the cutter was purchased from DD Machine. You can find DD Machine in the vendors section of Pirate4x4.com.

  • Is that a hardened axle that you are cutting?

  • Yes, the shaft is still hard. It's junkyard fresh :) It gets turned hard and cut hard. I think everyone that shortens stock shafts does it that way - at least I've never found anyone that anneals and re-hardens.

  • Nice work! Great video!

    

  • So how did you find or make the tool and how did you determine its spline profile?

  • Why wouldn't a Rzeppo joint work in a differential?

    No spilines, just a tripod bearing.

    Compactness is the goal I presume.

  • Nice rig man!

  • wow ... that cool.

    What kind of cutter is that and where can I buy one???

    Also, does that cutter allow for different inserts for cutting different types of splines. Reason I'm asking is, I need to cutting some 540 & 1000 rpm splines for a piece of farm equipment we own and I'm kind of at a lose as how to do it without spending a ton of cash on a specialized equipment.

  • Good job... very helpful.  I need to do this on a motor/transmission swap (backyard machine shop with small mill and lathe).

    Where do you buy the spline cutter?

    Thanks from Baltimore!

  • Thnks for the quick responce. Great video. It will help alot of people.
