I hate to think of using a serious type of Lock-Tite in case I have to get that puppy apart.

Similarly, we are putting a flat onto the drill output shaft and then pinning our coupler alongside the flat.
We'll use the threads to couple the motor to our shaft, and the pin ought to prevent it from unscrewing.
