The new shaft is .671" , the old one is of course larger.
I had to do a bit of repair on my Lathe (Atlas Clausing , Sears Craftsman , 10100)
Then turn down the shank on two drill bits. (1/4" chuck)
Then come at the "bushing" from both ends with a ground and modified 1/4" tool holder. I didn't have the shiznit for a boring bar that small.
Fighting tool post flex all morning I finally got a setup that worked.
Rebuilding brother's lathe.
