I just filed the old shaft.? Mark's lathe method is for those that have one.
I thought you said you needed to put shim under the RHS (next to the blade). If that is the case you file or turn off the shaft on the RHS, because you are lowering the shaft and so eliminating the need for shim.
If you needed 0.033" of shim then one jaw is moved only 0.033", but the Total Indicated Runout will be 0.066".
Be careful when turning and approach the amount you think you need to take off in several bites, a series of "80% of remaining amount" is about right.? Its easy to replace the shaft, try out and confirm the improved squareness.? It's hard to put back metal if you've turned off too much! - jv
That depends on what kind if welding equipment you have , John !
