I heard of something once that worked like form-a-thread I believe. You put a paste on a worn area of a shaft and when it cured you could machine it back to the original diameter. We have a shaft in an old horizontal mill. One end is worn about .030 and fits into a bearing. They have been running this machine slotting screws for years but I want it fixed. This seeems like the easiest way if it works.
