It only took me about 2mins to cut of the tang. I used a thin 41/2"
metal cutting disc that I bought from machine mart. Lots of sparks
but it cut it easily.

Hi All.
Have just used a hacksaw for shortening an Arbor. Held it in the
vice
using the Tang then used six junior hacksaw blades and a lot of
effort!. Used a junior hacksaw as I had plenty of them in stock and
they are cheaper than using a 12" blade. Must buy myself a powered
Hacksaw, the type that takes a normal blade. Finished of on a
grinding wheel. Looks OK.

Hi John,
Some have used a Dremel. I used an angle grinder and cleaned up
on the
bench grinder. Yes, it's hard. I initially tried a hacksaw but
blunted
it rather quickly. Get the length right. Cut it too short and
you'll
have problems ejecting the arbor.

Hi All,
I want to remove the tang from the morse taper that holds my
drill
chuck in the tail stock. I assume it is hard steel. I have a
hacksaw ,
metal cutting band saw and an angle grinder that I could buy a
metal
cutting blade for.
An suggestions as the best method ?
John
