Re: Morse Taper Spindle Finish (Another idea)
Hi Paul , In my experience you run the same risk as with the reamer if the damage / burring is at all uneven in that the shaft with emery paper will ¡°ride¡± on the burr / high spot and cut away on

Re: Craftsman Commercial Morse Taper Spindle Finish
The real way to do it would be to grind the spindle. You need a taper attachment and a tool post grinder. A reamer would also get the job done GP

Re: Craftsman Commercial Morse Taper Spindle Finish
