Knee shaft (pig to do with a step next to the bend), table shaft (bent In two places), notcher shaft, and the quill self feed shaft. Did them with the 10 tonne hydraulic press - measure, mark, squeeze (noting pressure), measure again. If the bend didn’t reduce more pressure!

If the one he's taking about is my old one then it's bearings too.

No, i have another
!! I actually prefer yours because it’s smaller and less hernia inducing (!) but I got this with the milling machine
All sorted now. I re measured the shaft and they had machined it with a slight taper. Bigger one end than the other. Set it up on the good old Triumph and skimmed a thou off one end. Then a quick polish with some fine wet and dry - finally lapped it in with some Solvol Autosol.
Perfect fit now. It isn't really critical anyway - it is just the shaft to drive the worm.
Stripped the whole thing down for a good clean. The older ones are better - ball races throughout.
Still pretty heavy - it's a 10" table - but a featherweight compared to my other two
