Re: encoders

I have a different question regarding encoders.

Has anyone used a Grayhill 61K128 encoder with the mini-toughbox?

That's what we're planning to use but I notice that it is a *very* tight fit with the body of the encoder right smack against the motor sides. We're using a 1/4" to 1/4" shaft coupling to connect the encoder to the output shaft. I'm tempted to take a file to the sides of the encoder body to see if we can open things up a bit. I'm worried about side-loading the encoder shaft.
