Hi. I need to take a mm or so off the spindle of my old Meddings pillar dri ll motor so that I can fit a piece of tubular steel over it, as an adaptor for a new pulley wheel. My first thought is to power up the motor and hold a file against the spindle, gently and so that there is a pulling force awa y from me, rather than a pushing force toward me.
With gloves, eye protection etc., does this sound like a sensible plan, or am I asking for a Darwin award?
Cheers.
Terry.
