[QUOTE="Rickrofe, post: 110986, member: 3596"] Thanks for the advice, it seems you have done this before? I have thought about the shaft vibration issue quite a bit. I have decided to TIG weld the flat bar to the shaft, it should reduce the tendency of the steel to distort due to excessive heat. I'll run 4 or 5 lines across the seam to provide additional strength. We are also counter sinking the D-shackle holes as per your advice, thankyou :) I am intending to add an emergency stop switch when we get to that stage; additionally I am adding a water proof power switch (essential when running the mill wet) Cheers Rick [/QUOTE]
