Unfortunately, I don't have the option of 3D printing. I've often thought about getting a 3D printer. Then I'd have to deal with CAD, which has stopped me from doing so.

I could order a POM rod from eBay for a small amount of money. I could drill with sufficient precision on the wood lathe. After glueing I would dress the stone with the TT-50 in hope that the concentricity would then be restored. As for the adhesive, I'm not sure what to use best for POM and water stone.

The grinding wheel on my Tormek was rusted onto the shaft. Therefore I removed the shaft from the driving wheel side. Then I tried to remove the stone from the shaft by slightly hitting it with a mallet.

I was able to remove the wheel from the shaft without breaking it. But my joy was short-lived, unfortunately the plastic sleeve remained on the shaft. I don't think there is any chance of removing the sleeve from the shaft without breaking it.

I would like to use the stone again as it still has a diameter of about 235mm. My idea is now to drill a 12mm hole in a 22m POM rod and glue it into the stone. Could this work? What glue should I use?

Does anyone have a better idea?
