Got a question

Greetings, I'd like to hear what you think.



I'm building a band mill, you know a sawmill. I planed to use a Kohler Magnum 18 engine.



I planed to, with the engine runing take off 1/16" from the shaft so I can use a 1" centrifugal clutch. to turn the band shaft, this has been done before with other engines.



Question: Is the shaft case hardened?



Any other thoughs on this idea.



Thanks Richard
