Rework Mount
A customer sent in a generation 1 rotor what had somehow became stuck to a motor shaft. He found the rotor at a thrift store! If my memory serves me we replace the rotor for the original customer when this happened. The motor shaft had been cut off and was still in the rotor. Not one to pass up a challenge I decided to see if it could be repaired. Most of these rotors had been modified or repaired long ago to prevent this issue. In the end I was very happy with the results. Very easy to remove from the machine, just like our new model.
Started by center drilling the piece of motor shaft. I had previously attempted to heat the rotor and remove it without any luck. It was galled badly. Drilled out. Bored the shaft until just a thin sliver remained.

Pulled the remnants out with some pliers. After boring you can see the stress around the shaft area. This shows the top side.

Wrote a quick program to machine the taper into the bottom side of the rotor. Note that this rotor will ride a 0.50 Changed the jaws and flipped the part to machine the top side along with the o-ring groove for our custom nut. Installed the custom nut and o-ring. Ready to test.
Wrote a quick program to machine the taper into the bottom side of the rotor. Note that this rotor will ride a 0.50" higher than our standard mount. This old center was too small to accommodate the recess. Changed the jaws and flipped the part to machine the top side along with the o-ring groove for our custom nut. Installed the custom nut and o-ring. Ready to test.
Installed on the machine and test spinning.
