I should add, when I did this I was not trying to go faster than a hand method but sustain that effort for a long time is tiresome, hence using the drill to make it easier. it will take a while, I think it me about a hour to fix 16 12 inch shafts. Slow and steady with this dirt cheap method.

This would work too. 100 or 766 should have these on their lathes if you don't have this.
