Did this for a guy at work, actually for his brother. It's a 5/8" shaft used on an outboard boat motor. Both ends had external threads but one end snapped off so he wanted me to cut the other end off and drill and tap both ends 3/8-16. It's some grade of stainless steel that cut and drilled fairly well but was somewhat of a bugger to tap. In use the shaft is in the water so I don't know what type of SS it is.
