I sure learn a lot around here.
so anyway finally got a lathe project pics later,
I was asked if I could make a stepped shaft to replace one that had been broken and welded several times already.
the shaft holds a idler gear that runs between a bull gear on a cutter shaft and the drive gear, this is on a paper shear.
so I scrounged through there shop and found an old pin that would fit the bill took all the measurements on the shaft the mounting hole and the gear went home and got the pin made only to discover that on that day my ability to read a set of calipers and write what I read on to paper was greatly impaired. OOPS do over to come.
