Polarbear,
You are 100% right, that shaft will eventually wear out and snap.
At which point the customer will have to decide what to do about it.
Repair or replace. They have already mentioned that they were considering
replacing machines. This is a big company with offices in other states.
I already made the suggestion that they need a beefier machine. Something
around 35pgs/min.
If they want to fix it, I would have to get a long drill bit and drill it out. Then
tap out whats left.
If worst comes to worst I will let the customer go "Office Space" on the
little beast.
