This 10 Inch diameter bar of 1045 Steel is being turned down for a stub shaft. From 10" to 1 15/16" diameter. That is a lot of metal being removed.

The last few years, I have been seeing more engineers designing parts like this, instead of using a 2 piece design. What works for some, doesn't work for others.

As this is the part number 3 for this customer of this design, I am sure it is working out well for them. The first 2 have been operating in daily service, under harsh conditions, with no signs of failure like the 2 piece designs did.

As this is a prototype, or rather, the 3rd test batch, I can not show the whole job. The customer specified what they want filmed, and what they don't. It is a small price to pay to be able to continue making these videos. I hope you all can understand. I wish I could show more.
