Bent Shaft

[adamja]

I've got a propeller shaft that is bent for my mini mono, I ain't got the money for a wire shaft atm so would I be able to somehow get it straightened? :)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi
I can straighten the prop shaft for you. You would have to send it to me to get this done. As this isn't hard to do with my equipment, I do not charge anything.
I would only charge the shipping cost. I realise this is something that most cannot do good eneough. Many can get real close.

Could you tell me what equipment you use? :) Maybe some LHS got the same equipment. Since I'm from Sweden I think that the shipping costs will be kinda big. Thanks for the offer but sorry it would take too long time aswell, I've got it pretty straight now how much would it affect the boat if it's just a tiiiny little bending on it? If the specs of the boat and the shaft would matter I can post them. :) Thanks!

Best regards

Adam

It isn't as expensive as you might think.
You are most likely right about sending it back and forth. I would use a lathe to check run out and straighten the shaft. No hobby shop has much in the way of help for this problem. The biggest problem with a wobbly prop shaft is the vibration.

Well I'll check the shipping rates and come back then! :) Thank you

I guess you're able to send them in a letter? :)
Well it would be like 29 Swedish Crowns to send to outside europe, would it be the same charge for you to send it to me?
