THIS PHOTO SHOWS A SHAFT TENON BEING MACHINED TO FIT A FERRULE. NOTE THE DIGITAL READ-OUT DEVICE AT THE BACK OF THE MACHINE. THIS PARTICULAR MACHINE IS DEDICATED TO SHAFT WORK.
HERE WE ARE MACHINING THE TENON FOR THE JOINT END OF A SHAFT. ONCE THE JOINT SLEEVE AND THE FERRULE HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, WE WILL START TO TURN THE SHAFT DOWN TO ITS FINAL SIZE ON A CNC.
