What is needed to machine a crank?

[Russ2251]

Russ i'm confused by your statement that the keyway is half the size of the width, which if the keyway is 3/16" would mean that the distance from the top of the shaft toward the center would be .09375". But then you said that there square, meaning it would be 3/16" x 3/16"

If you cut the keyway the same depth as the key, key won't do anything except fit flush with PTO surface.
It's supposed to fit into clutch as well as shaft, or half and half.
Doesn't apply to width.

Tell the machinist to cut it to ANSI specs, machinery's handbook should have them.
