How do you "spline" a shaft ?
I have a 3/4" round shaft, I want to spline to a 36-3/4. Any ideas ?

I got a rack from a 95+ Cobra. I wanna slightly shorten the steering shaft a little, and re-spline it.
Either that or, just get a 3/4" round coupler and weld it up but I'd prefer it to be splined.

EDM can do splines on the end of a shaft?
Since it's for a steering shaft it's not going to see much force (compared to trans input shaft and axles) so milling would be fine.

One of the more common processes to spline a blank shaft is called "hobbing". Call around at some of your local machine shops to see if they're equipped to perform this type of work.
