How do you cut down a PTO shaft?

I picked my new saw bench up today. It looks in great condition
and came with a PTO shaft, but the shaft is too long. How do I
measure it up properly so it will fit and how do I go about
cutting it down?

ask my dad! :D i cant explain it, he just does it and i watch. i
know how but i dont know how to put it into words :( he just
estimates it really, the longer you make each length the better
obviously, that way theirs less chance of it coming apart.

What ever the length u need 2 cut off take half of each end. So
if ur shaft is 6inch to long take 3inch of each end of the shaft
plus give a bit so they don't hit (say half inch of each side)
well that's how we have done it before. Usually cut it off with
angle grinder or steel chop saw

Even after following that I've managed to get it a bit on the
short side! It works, but there's a bit of room for the shaft to
be longer. I forgot to allow for the fact that it's slightly
offset. ::)
It works though so I shouldn't grumble.
