This roller has been a constant source of frustration over the years. As they keep failing in the exact same way, no matter what we attempt to try differently. This time, I am going to eliminate the possibility of it being weld stress by making the stub shaft completely solid.

My customer has also adjusted their equipment hoping that may help with the problem, as it is always the same end that is being broken.

Watch as I take some seriously heavy cuts to get down to the sizes I need to make this roller. Truely a heavy metal removal job, something I have become quite familiar with.
