Here's hoping you metal guys can help a woodworker. I'm building a thickness sander and have a nominal 1 inch cold rolled hollow steel shaft and a nominal 1 inch pillow bearing. Turns out the shaft is .003 on the large side and the bearing is about .002 short of 1 inch. I need to take down about six linear inches of shaft. I have a waterwheel 8 inch grinder for tool sharpening, but I'm guessing it would take hours to get the shaft to the right diameter. One other note: The shaft already has 20 inches of discs affixed to it for the core of the sander's drum.
Would a machine shop handle this problem and, if so, what's a fair price to pay?
Thanks in advance,
Larry
