Mawrick 0 Posted August 24, 2015 Just out of curiosity, would there be any chance of fixing a crank shaft on an old/vintage compressor? Sitting like this (have both the "parts" of the shaft): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBC1 10 Posted October 16, 2015 You could lathe drill and tap a thread into the end as a cheap fix. If you weld you would need deep penetration. It looks like high carbon steel? It will probably unbalance at high rpms a touch. Take it apart and have a new shaft made up. Won't cost too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
