Still with a flat on the shaft and a set screw just to be safe.


Please lets not go off on tangents. Thanks for any help or suggestions.



You might consider this as going off on a tangent, but to get the best
concentricity I would join the rough machined parts and then machine the
part.

I had not considered that. I'll have to think about it for a while.
Given the final rough shape of the part and the tools I have available I
am not sure I have the ability to do that, but it is worth considering.
As a side note, I have already made this part once as a strictly slip fit
with a set screw and it works fair. I was hoping the shrink fit would
give me better results. The assembly is a spinning part and I am trying
to remake it with minimal runout. The part where it attaches to the drive
would be very difficult to machine afterwards both parallel and concentric
to the bore. A press fit is not practical as the only place to press is a
pre-machined precision interface for yet another part.


P.S. Some machining can (and should) be done after its finished for
balance.
