Precision Keyway and Thread Cutting

Threads and keyways are small details that have a major effect on mechanical reliability. A poorly cut keyway can create movement, misalignment and worn couplings, while inaccurate threads can make assembly difficult or compromise the strength of a component.

Ross & Son Engineering cuts keyways and threads for shafts, bushes, sleeves, couplings, pulleys, gears and custom machined components. Work can be completed from drawings, samples or measured dimensions, with practical advice on fit, material and finish.

Keyway and thread cutting is commonly required during shaft manufacturing, shaft repairs, modification work and breakdown repairs. Accurate machining helps components assemble correctly and perform under load, especially in marine, industrial, mining and mechanical plant applications.

• Internal and external thread cutting for machined components.
• Keyways for shafts, pulleys, gears and drive components.
• Custom machining from drawings, samples or worn parts.
