Problem with KWM Bushing Machine

[manfromblan]

Just received a new center shaft (timesavers) for my bushing machine.
Have had this machine 30 years & have replaced the shaft couple of times before.
The one I just got is the OD of the shaft is too large to fit my machine, also the tool holder end the ID is too small & unable to accept any of the tools.
This shaft is chrome plated which I think has caused the problem. Past ones have never been plated.
Has something changed with these machines? Called (TS) & they said that was all they had.
Anyone had this issue or know of another source for this part, thanks

 

[wow]

Could you make two bushings and bush both the top and bottom to fit your old shaft?

sounds like it's just the wrong part.... perhaps bergeon?

i wonder if it's available from merritts or some other source.... but i'd return it.
