Popular Post Stellaghost Posted September 12 Popular Post Share Posted September 12 So went to use my shaper the other day and the shaft that supports the large drive gear sheared the flange and shaft are made from one piece of cast iron decided to make in steel to save a lot of wasted material I made components separately and welded together Completed holes drilled and tapped and new shaft installed, working like a good one again Regards Stephen 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
