Re: tapping CIM axles?


Some suggestions to address Graham's concerns for anyone who wants to try shrink fitting:

1) put the CIM in the freezer

2) make sure the mass of the piece you want to shrink onto the CIM shaft is less than the CIM rotor

3) place a heat sink (e.g. a simple slotted piece of steel plate) snugly around the base of the CIM shaft

4) If at first you don't succeed, use a press to push the CIM shaft out
