I guess the first question I would ask is... why do you want to do this?

If you have a non-standard keyway in a shaft and you want to use a standard piece of keystock, so you're thinking of using a non-standard key in the shaft, may I suggest looking into stepped keys? Essentially on different sides of the stock they are different widths.

This may make your job a bit easier and a lot cheaper, if this is indeed why you want a bigger keyway.
