Good job Zap. Should serve the purpose well.

The guy heard you get all the fun jobs and wanted to keep you happy. Figured you could just bevel a little and weld it up with a 120V Harbor Freight flux core unit then grind until the bearing fit. Done and done.

How did you keep the rubber from burning/melting or did I miss something? Bob

Figure overall length from head.
Steady rest what is there.
Center drill..
Face sawed off ends till flat face.
Drill with one inch drill 3 inches deep.
Bore until happy with finish.
Measure bore depth.
Figure what you need for overall and add bore depth.
Make new ends from stock 1/4" bigger than finish.
Turn stub to length of bore and leave it .003 over.
Heat bore with rosebud.
Insert end with proper weld prep area.
Let cool till end gets tight.
Weld accordingly.
Do both ends.
Re install in lathe and steady rest same place as you bored it.
Center drill
Face to length.
Finish to size...(1.9375)
Add 1/2" X 4.25 long keyway to long journal.

Pics tomorrow if it is still there.

Hot hot hot only on the bore.
Get that rosebud CRANKIN!!!
Heats bore to red in 30 seconds.

Insert end.

The new shaft and the thickness of the heads and roller keep the rubber from excess heat.
This rubber can put up with a fair amount of heat...
It's a hot glue squish roller for plywood.

Was that roll being removed so it could
be resurfaced? Rubber looks like operators
used a razor knife to remove wraps/jams.
