Seems I have seen "pictures of how this is done" in the various catalogs, at
least for Thomson ROUND shaftways. It DOES require some thought, experience,
technique, and precision!

I would surely imagine THK, etc., have done this many times for their
not-round ways, so have at least a "manual" with text and sketches as to how
one DOES this properly! ASK 'em ! ! !
