The way my luck runs, I would no sooner cut that shaft off and find a
better motor for a RPC and then have a need for that motor.......Thats
what happened when I originally made my first 3 h p RPC. I then made a
5 h p model and had a need for a 3 h p, but I had cut the shaft
off.......I would simply attach a guard or duct tape a tin can over
the end and leave it on the motor.
