Custom Shaft Manufacturing

Precision Shaft Manufacturing

Forster Tool has been machining a variety of shafts and custom shafts for over 50 years. We have machined a variety of different custom shafts, from many different types of materials, ranging from titanium to plastic. Shaft Machining provides is own set of challenges that our machinists overcome time and time again.

Shafts are usually made through a process called turning.  This is done by feeding bars of material that are held in a chuck and rotated while a tool is fed to the piece to remove material and create the part. Forster Tools machinists have collectively over 100 years of experience with the turning process and have optimized many of the operations necessary for producing your custom shafts. All this optimization leads to cost savings which are passed down to you!
