We have some shafts that have wallowed keyways. They were originally 9/32" so I have to recut them to 5/16". I know how to recut a keyway so that's not the question. The new key stock is oversized so I'll cut .008" off of each side of the slot.
The shaft will be held in a 5C collet and collet block. The question is: Once the shaft is centered in the mill, what is the best way to clock the shaft so that the bottom of the existing slot is perpendicular to the sides of the end mill?
