Thank you all!..

I think i will actually try 2 simultaneous solutions mentioned above. I will use some CYA Glue to keep it together, then run some heat shrink tubing around it to seal it. It is not near anything that a small outside diameter increase would even bother.

Thank you!

Here is what the part looks like "broken"...

the piece is smooth on the inside, at both ends, so it is not "driving" anything. It may very well just be a "dust preventer" or "alignment assistant"....if anyone knows for sure, that would help me determine how I should proceed.

thank you!

Hi All, My little round plastic drive assembly on my Gilmer drive unit (usually a $8-$10 part) broke, and Shopsmith no longer sells it. They can only ask me to convert to the new Poly-v and new Quill for $450+ NOOOO!!! I am dead in the water for a little plastic coupler. this thing: https://i771.pho...
