Differential Housing
Machined from nodular cast iron and housing the vehicle differential gear assemblies, differential housings present difficulties in terms of interrupted cuts during roughing passes. Surface finishes and tolerances must be held to customer standards, and machining operations involve custom combination tooling such as turning heads, drills and reamers.
