What is a Slotting Machine

A slotting machine is a specialized metalworking machine tool used to cut internal keyways, splines, and grooves in workpieces. A slotter operates with a reciprocating cutting tool that moves up and down, removing material to create precise slots. Slotting machines are vital in manufacturing gears, pulleys, and other mechanical components. They offer high accuracy and can work on both internal and external surfaces

Main Functions of a Slotting Machine

1. Cutting keyways: It can create internal keyways in gears, pulleys, and hubs.
2. Producing internal splines: Useful for making splined shafts and gears.
3. Machining grooves: Can cut precise grooves in various shapes and sizes.
4. Creating internal gears: Capable of cutting teeth for internal gears.
5. Shaping irregular internal surfaces: Can machine non-circular or irregularly shaped internal profiles.
6. Broaching: Some slotting machines can perform light broaching operations.
7. Cutting slots: As the name suggests, it's excellent for cutting slots in workpieces.
8. Making dovetails: Can create internal dovetail joints.
9. Machining blind holes: Able to work on holes that don't go all the way through a part
10. Producing internal squares or hexagons: Useful for creating tool holders or sockets.
