Re: FP Shaft Coupling Method?
We made a plug out of hardwood, and connected a sprocket directly to the hardwood. An axle going through both the sprocket, the wood, and if I recall correctly the gearbox as well, supported the otherwise cantilevered load.
another method i've seen, probably best suited for low torque applications, is inserting a pipe into the hex hole and clamping down with a hose clamp. don't have experience with that one.
