Re aux shaft end flat grind: Yes with a taper. Flat stops short of end(look at quill shaft flat).
P.S.new subject - I have stated that the quill/splined shaft of the MVII is shorter than a M5/V. I have recently acquired a supposedly MVII quill. It appears to be identical to a M5/V. I'se confused! Could you measure your two quills? Body length and splined shaft extension? TIA(for everything!!!)

Re: :: II MK VII = I MK XIV?
Brief update. I have the thread die for the end threads, and I've marked out the short hole where the keyway ends. I'm going to drill the shafts first and then I will cut the keyway, or I'll have my buddy cut them, and I can turn the depression in the end, and groove for snap ring easy.
On another related note, I tested my air compressor today, and it worked perfect. I also cleaned up the Freddy Kruger flex power cable of death and tested that. I put a 10" saw blade on the end of it, and started sawing a piece of 2x4, and as expected, neared sawed a gouge into my right leg. I should put on a hockey mask, and hoodie and fire that thing up and take a pic. It's awesomely awful to handle.

What? That's a perfectly safe accessory for the entire family to use (simultaneously), and I have photo evidence to prove it!docmirror wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 4:50 pm Brief update.

Homemade ice cream, anyone?
Re: :: II MK VII = I MK XIV?
Am I understanding you correctly? You put a 10" saw blade on a flex shaft and tried to use it? Please say that is not true. Ware did you get the idea that was a way to use the flex shaft?docmirror wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 4:50 pm Brief update.

Re: :: II MK VII = I MK XIV?
Who said it was safe? I surely didn't. In fact, I called it the Freddy Kruger cable of death. I just had the blade handy, and mounted it up. I don't mind admitting my mistakes, and adding a little entertainment along the way. Know what I don't need? I don't need another MOMMY. I had one, she's dead and so far I still have all 20 fingers and toes thankyouvermuch.jsburger wrote: ↑Fri Mar 11, 2022 10:05 pmAm I understanding you correctly?

The girl has not one, but two of the cables of death joined together. As if it wasn't deadly enough already, lets put a second cable on and really get some damage in. Maybe she can take out dad, or a kid with it. lolz...
Re: :: II MK VII = I MK XIV?
OK, this has gone on long enough. Here's where I am. I've broken two costly tool bits trying to use my vert mill as a horz mill and cut those keyways. This has to stop, so I stopped. I'm never going to get through the keyway job unless I use a grinding tool and horz mill, and I'm not gonna do that.
So, just as no plan survives first contact with the enemy, I am adapting in hopes I can vanquish this foe. I fired up the MIG, and bought some -6, .025 wire and got busy. First I tried to clean up the shafts best I could, and get all the gunk out of the metal. I pre-heated a bit and went in and welded up the shafts where the bearing races had beaten it like a poor step-child. So far so good. I got a few passes with the grinding wheel to knock down the big bumps and chucked one of them up in the old Cincinnati lathe. I got a few small cuts made before I had to head for work. But, making progress finally.
Sad part is, I have 3 shafts of 5/8" cold rolled I'll likely never use. Maybe I can sell on ebay or CL. The last part of the trouble is going to be cutting the notch for the snap ring. I have the snap rings needed, and will grind out a cut-off bit as narrow as I can. It's going to be slow going cutting that notch. Maybe finished next wed or thur.
