Connectors join one shaft to another, or fix a rod end to a lever, and they are almost always made to drawing. Because the part sits between two finished components, the bore, spigot and thread dimensions have to match the mating parts exactly.
Connectors are turned from bar stock, with milling added when a flat or slot is needed. Threads are rolled or cut to gauge, and every batch sample is checked with go / no-go gauges. After deburring and cleaning, stainless parts are passivated and aluminum parts anodized.
