Yeah, cuz 8mm w/2mm isn't weird...

Though AM does sell an adapter to go to 1/2" with a key http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0996.htm might help but 1/2" w/ key is still kinda odd.


For folks trying to buy JUST the gearbox instead of including a motor you won't use https://www.aliexpress.com/item/45mm...90259411.html? looks solid enough.

There's also a 42mm version I've been looking at for smaller stuff, though I might upgrade to 45mm. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/42mm...90423964.html?
