What are the process of machining a keyway on a shaft by using shaping machine?

Machining a keyway on a shaft using a shaping machine involves several steps. First, the shaft is securely clamped in the machine's vice to prevent movement. The shaping tool, typically a single-point cutter, is then adjusted to the desired depth and width of the keyway. As the machine operates, the cutter moves back and forth across the shaft, removing material to create the keyway profile. Finally, the machined keyway is inspected for accuracy and finish.
