Sorry to here about David Wright losing his job. Although I have never had the pleasure of doing business w/ him, his contributions to the list show that he is an honorable man. Maybe that attribute rocked the boat at GL.
We are mechanical contractors and a lot of bigger, older air handlers have blower shafts that are very specific to the machine. They generally require a lot of lead time to get a new one. We usually get to see these shafts when one of the bearings has plowed a big groove in it. The customer is hot (or cold) and needs it fixed now. We send these out to a company that welds up the grooves and machines the bearing surfaces back to size. I believe that for lesser worn surfaces they metalizes it. Basically they spray on metal and then machine that. Someone on the list may have first hand knowledge about metalizing.
