Re: Amount of coupler purchase required on 1/2'' hex?

Seconded what Mark said.

Think of the hex sleeve (coupler) as you would a hub for a wheel. How much engagement do you typically get on a wheel hub?

How are you supporting the two shafts? If not done properly, you could be inducing additional stress on the shafts and coupler than anticipated.
