I had a man come to my shop last week and order a shaft. 14mm and .937 at the joint.then he comes over and says he wants it turned to 13.25 mm. I say shocking the wood all at once by removing that much wood it will warp.any comments?
Your only taking off 3/4 of a MM.....i don't see the problem especially if you seal the shaft after your done like your supposed to do....if your worried then just make one pass and wait a week or two and make the final pass and you shouldn't have any problems....don't forget to seal....

You should be able to build him a shaft out of it with no problem provided the wood is stable. This is also taking it for granted that the 14mm is pro tapered already and not just cone tapered. If it is cone tapered you will have to take it down over a few week period, because it is way over 14mm in the center of the shaft.

It might.
If it is good shaft wood there should be no problem re-tapering from 14mm to 13.25mm.
I have had good shafts that never moved from start to finish and bad ones that moved every cut no matter how small.
It is all up to the wood spirits ...
