ABSTRACT:
A method facilitates fabricating a coupling including a first annular coupling member and a second annular coupling member. The method comprises coupling the first coupling member to a machine assembly that includes a plurality of grinding wheels coupled to a tool storage member, machining a plurality of troughs in the first coupling member using at least one of the plurality of grinding wheels, such that at least one projection is defined between adjacent troughs, coupling the second coupling member to the machine assembly, and machining a plurality of troughs in the second coupling member using at least one of the plurality of grinding wheels, such that the second coupling member is configured to rotatably couple to the first coupling member.
