Alright, I was thinking about doing that. I can bore out new ones,
but what would you suggest doing about the 2mm keyway? The new
pinions are a press fit onto the motor shafts (the old ones had
setscrews) and they seem to be holding, although those are still also
keyed as well.
Thanks, ww88


Enco has a 2mm broach for $38.63
McMaster wants $40.93
MSC wants $43.34

Bushing looks to be another $10 or so. Add another couple of bucks worth
of stuff and use the February free shipping code from Enco.

Members of the crude expedient club have been known to file a keyway, in
a pinch. Not that anyone else in this high-falutin' newsgroup would
admit to stooping so low...
