The Morey Vertical Shaper is by far my favorite machine here at Topper Machine LLC. There are many other options for cutting keyways, but they all are very inaccurate. This machine will cut them perfectly, with the right machinist at the controls.

This particular job is for a 1.000" wide (+/- .001) by 10.5" Long with a center tolerance of +/- 0.004". The shop who was doing these has been struggling and causing all kinds of delays and scrap parts. Now, I get the chance to prove myself again.

The final outcome of the inspection of my part was nearly perfect. The width of the keyway was 1.0005, and the center was only off by .0017". All within tolerance, but I intend to do better on the next one. The keyway cut by the former shop was 1.0055" wide, and 0.045" off center. The future jobs were awarded to Topper Machine LLC, and this is just one of several similar parts I will be doing for this customer.
