Yike! No, we aren't *that* brave. We want to a make a gear box to gear the Chiphua up to 20,000 rpm. The output of this is tied to the output shaft of the drill motor (with a regular gear, on the front) in a 1:1 ratio. Another gear, of the same size as the other two, is put on the same chain. The shaft this sits on goes to the transmission. Of course... if we go with the two-transmission idea, it is the same thing, save for the gears not all connecting until *after* the transmissions. Hrm... that sounded kind of confusing. I wish I knew the CAD programs better so I could draw it up. But I hope that was able to clear it up some?
Okay, I think I follow it better now. I was assuming (incorrectly) that you would have the drill motor transmission attached directly the drill motor itself as it would be were the whole thing assembled for commercial use.
