The paper reports the solution of the urgent problem on technological solutions searches ensuring the shaping of profile keyless joints. The investigation was carried out with the use of the methodology of a structural-parametric synthesis of metalcutting systems which allowed compiling mathematical and geometrical models of a female milling cutter generating surface with a design radial feed for the shaping of profile keyless joints. On the basis of this there was carried out the analysis of cutting procedures chosen which has shown that the procedure with a coaxial location of a milling cutter regarding a shaft is most promising from the point of view of cost price and machining accuracy. The research results may be used at the devel-opment of design-engineering documentation at the preparation of profile shafts production to ensure product characteristics specified.
