How do you guys usually extend a shaft when you need to. I have to
change out a motor on a mill I am working on, and the shaft on the bad
motor is like 6" long to go through the very thick step pulley. The shaft on
all the motors I am considering is much shorter.
Im thinking I am going to have to conical shape the ends a bit, weld it up,
then turn it down. Am worried about the hardness of the weld though.
Suggestions ?
