I have a 14" King wood bandsaw. I purchased a 6" riser block for it and it came with a round guide shaft. My saw has a 1" square shaft and longer square shaft is no longer available. I could weld an extention on the original square shaft but I am concerened that it might be difficult to get it in alignment. Another option is to use a 1 1/2" lap joint milled in the original shaft and in the extention and use 4- 1/4" counter-sunk cap screws to hold it all together. I am woundering if this would be strong enough to prevent any undue play in the shaft guide. The original shaft is 12" long and I need the new shaft has to be 18 1/2" long.
