But you will have to open up the hole to 1/2 inch (it comes 3/8 stock) and then you have to buy this collar & this broach & shim and broach the 1/8" keyway in the 1/2" hole.

Alternatively, you could use a VersaPlanetary but you'd have to change center distances because you still wouldn't have a gearset that added up to the same number of teeth (29+32=61 -- Vex doesn't sell many/any gears with odd numbers of teeth).

Actually, I just now realized that I assumed that you wanted the P60 to be driving the 32T gear. If that is wrong. Then I will have to change my answer.

Good luck.

Nope, that's correct. So I would buy that gear, drill a 1/2 inch hole in it and then .. what exactly? I've never worked with collars or broaches to my knowledge.
