Now that my new bandsaw is ready to run I need to look into selling my old one. I'd like to get the lower shaft repaired first, if possible at a not too scarily high price. I live way out in the middle of nowhere, without even a scrap yard closer than a 90 minute drive, so I imagine I would need to mail the shaft to someone who could spray weld the front bearing journal to build it up and then turn it back to the proper size. If anyone knows of a place that does this work long distance I'd be grateful to hear about it. If I could get it done for $100-200 I would happily do that, but if it would be more than that I will probably just try to sell the saw as is. It does still run and work, and I have been using it this way to build instruments, but it has more vibration than I really like. I didn't want the down time that would have been required to get the shaft repaired, but now that I am moving to the new saw I have all the time in the world. I'll be grateful for any advice.
