Here's the keyway cut without any shims. It looks a tad shallow, but it is a small key.

1". I wanted it long since it's Aluminum to prevent rust.

Not sure what the actual use is, some are machine screw (obsolete) size Nr 20. That works out to 0.320, a 5/16 maybe. Thread pitch are Nr 20-18, Nr 20-16, 1/2-16. There are some others, including a couple of tapered. I am not familiar with those, just waiting 'til they get here to figure out if they are worth keeping or for making lathe tools. They were cheap so worth prowling.

Picked this up off Amazon. Only have a set of smaller 4" precision ground stones, and some $3 oil stones from HF. Tad more pricy but I got these.

Picked up a used HF horizontal/vertical band saw - $20 -- could not pass this one up, even though my garage is over stuffed

Needs a little work on the guide rollers and some love
