Hello all,
I decided to build a band mill and have acquired the band wheels (24", aluminum), but need to have the center bushing made.
The OD of the bushing will be ~ 4" not including the shoulder and I'll use a 1 15/16" keyed shaft to go through the center.
Before I walk into a machine shop, what are your opinions on the best material for this bushing? I don't need the best as this will be a hobby mill, but I don't want junk either.
Thanks for any opinions or suggestions.
Paul
