I have barely found time to set foot in my workshop over the past few weeks but today I finished take 2 of the replacement for one of the shafts for the power feed drive on my mill.
I have posted about this part previously, most recently about advice on how I made such a mess of cutting a keyway. I wasn't happy with the results of my first attempt so started again and here is the result
Much happier with this version. The collar is to take the place of a flange that is incorporated into the original part, I had discussed welding this in place but after some consideration I realised that the machine would have to be extensively dismantled to install the shaft if this flange was fixed in place, so instead it will be a separate collar with grub screws to retain it.
Shaft is 4140, collar is unknown horrible gummy rubbish steel.
