seeking mainshaft sleeve help
Quote from Reloader on May 30, 2021, 11:52 amI have a worn out 1050 that needs a sleeve for the mainshaft.
Does anyone on this forum know where to get the sleeve and what size to bore the press out to accept the sleeve?It's an easy job I figure someone on this forum has done this and can share the material & type of sleeve they used and where to source it?
Thanks

How about just boring it out to 1.5" and making a new mainshaft. It looks like a simple part. McMaster-Carr has some ground shafts.

Or maybe, after boring, press-in a piece of 1 ½" x .035" wall 4130 tubing? It is very strong and stiff. Then just turn/grind down the mainshaft to fit inside. Maybe get some dry ice to shrink it.

I'm afraid the threaded section for the shellplate retainer would be greatly weakened if bored-out much.

I was only suggesting the oversize or undersize mainshaft to avoid a large overbore that would weaken the threaded boss. $15.54 (plus shipping) for the 4130 sleeve and turning-down the mainshaft .050" or so– it's hard to imagine an easier or less expensive fix, unless their was a custom tailored solution.

Quote from Reloader on June 2, 2021, 12:06 amI just measured my '650 shaft and it's around 1.498" in diameter. It might be longer, but possibly adaptable to an over-bored 1050– whichever exact machine you have, since there are two different machines with 1050 in the name. Assuming, of course, that your mainshaft is actually 1-31/64" in diameter and that Dillon would sell you one. The part is not actually listed for sale on the website.
