450 shaft straightening tool (truing tool)
Does anybody knows where can I buy a Shaft Straightening Tool for 5mm. (450 shafts) ?
There's the Eisenberg tool, but the guy on Ebay states he "doesn't know of any 5mm. shafts
and only makes it for 3mm". mmmmm...............
There are two or three videos on Youtube, however it's impossible to contact these people.
Went to a machine shop but they wanted an insane amount of dough for such a simple device.
JeezzzI could buy a zillion new shafts for that price.
Just a place that will sell it will be fine.
Thanks

no1 sells anything like that your going to have to make 1 yourself or find someone that makes one for you. the funny thing about the one you mentioned is that its also a hollow shaft they were straightning. also i have seen where some put the shaft in a drill and run it into a 5mm hole in hard wood this is bs as i have tried this method it straightens it some but its not true enough to take wobbles out. good luck

Yes indeed, I am tired of the wood & drill method, it's never accurate enough.
There's a couple ofvids and one of them is doing not only a 5mm
mainbut a tail shaft as well. They are under Youtube's "Truing Tool"
Thanks for the advice.

Or just get some spare shaft (3 per pack for $2.50) and tail shaft (2 per pack for $1.32) check HK, its not that expensive, truing tools it does for me
