images named saw_shaft_repair 001, 002, 003, 005, 007 are photos of a damaged shaft repaired using TIG brazing with silicon bronze filler. This shaft is the upper wheel shaft on my 20" Delta woodcutting bandsaw. The inner race of one of the bearings was allowed to spin on the shaft, scoring it badly. saw_shaft_repair_001 : shows the parts which make up this assembly saw_shaft_repair_002 : shows damaged area before repair saw_shaft_repair_003 : shows damaged area after brazing saw_shaft_repair_005 : shows damaged area after turning-note ratty looking saw_shaft_repair_007 : shows the entire shaft after brazing Thankyou for all suggestions I received on sci.eng.joining.welding.
