It would be a royal pain to cut down the shaft of a motor while it is still part of the motor, and I would be reluctant to attempt it. If space for a shaft adapter was an issue, I'd seek a different gear.
Or did I misunderstand the question again?

I believe the original poster (and at any rate, I am) was talking about taking the output of a P60 BaneBots and powering an AndyMark Toughbox for a super reduction. The CIM pinion is too small to drill out to the BaneBots output shaft diameter (.5"). The only way I could think of was to turn down the BB planetary output shaft to the diameter of the CIM output (.313"), and then mill the 2mm keyway in.
I've seen this done before though (BB planetary to toughbox) and was wondering how other people successfully interfaced them.
