This may be getting into the realm of impossibility here, but has anyone considered using an axle from a one ton truck. I do believe they are casehardened 1045 steel. Getting the arbor heat treated may be a problem for some but just about any mom and pop type machine shop could either do it or direct you to someplace that can do it.

later all......

Harold,
   I've got the frame of an 8" double-bay gang (with some blades ) that I was once going to restore. If you're going to resaw 2 or 4 sided cants and want production, it maybe something you want to look at.
