Another approach is to not use the keyway on the existing
shaft. You could:

Cross drill for a taper pin, or

Machine the shaft and handle for a 'dutchman' which
is a round key. The idea is you assemble the shaft
to the hub, and drill the face of the assembly,
centered at the parting line between the two. A
tight fitting round pin is then driven into the
hole.


Here in Auz,they usually call that a "Scotch key".They tap the hole and put
a grub screw into it so that it can be removed if necessary
