Item Name: Covington Parts - Arbor Shaft 1"x 36" SKU: COVCAS036 Description: The Covington Arbor Shaft is a heavy-duty arbor shaft used as the main rotating shaft on compatible Covington lapidary and grinding and polishing machines. It is built to run straight and true through the machine’s bearing assemblies, giving you a rigid mounting surface for wheels, spacers, and other arbor-mounted accessories. This type of shaft is chosen when you need stable rotation with minimal vibration, especially on equipment that is expected to carry multiple wheels and operate under steady grinding pressure. How it is used: This shaft is installed through the machine’s bearings and secured according to the machine’s hardware layout. Grinding wheels, sanding drums, polishing wheels, and spacing components are then mounted and tightened on the shaft so they rotate concentrically during use. In a glass studio, an arbor shaft like this is part of the coldworking side of the shop, supporting equipment used to shape, smooth, and finish glass surfaces after the piece has been made and annealed. Dimensions: Arbor Shaft: 1" Shaft Length: 36" 16 lbs.
