Ideas?

Ox:
Without access to a machine shop the only thing I can come up with is the edge of a bastard file.  It'll take a long time but the price is right.

joasis:
If you have a lathe, you can drag cut them. The lathe chuck holds the part and lock the spindle, and then crank the carriage back and forth with a sized took in a boring bar holder.

I believe the piece of steel is too hard to cut the keyway. A file just barely makes a mark.  ::)

It wasn't all that hard to turn in my home built lathe. I have thought about milling a spot on the side and then drilling across to make a groove in the shafts to act as a key with a capscrew. Poor old drill press chuck is nearly ruined by using a milling cutter in it for other projects.

Rigged up an external keyboard that mostly works, so, I might try to do a photo upload of the bastard swingblade mill conversion.

You could use whats called a Dutchman if the pieces are flush drill a hole half in the shaft drive in a round pin. Also an angle grinder and cut 0ff wheel and a shitload of patience. I have done it with a good file. Frank C.
