Thankfully there isn't too make damage to the shaft itself, I will need a new key way but that shouldn't be too bad. Actually I don't really need one cause I use a taper locking setup.
Just have them skim cut the shaft to the next size taperlock you can get like 1.06245 then, have them open the keyway to overcome the marred section and then machine a new custom key thats shaped like a T. The larger size fits in the new keyslot and the smaller section is 1/4" for the keyway.
