We’ve been through this many times before. Do NOT Dremel off the drill pinion, and if you do, don’t encourage others to repeat your mistake. This can cause many problems including: damaging the output shaft, getting shavings in the motor, damage the motor in other ways, and just generally cause problems. Besides, if you’re removing the pinion, you’re going to need a press to put on the new gear anyway so why not just do the right thing from the beginning. If you don’t have access to a press, you can always use the mod 7 gears from PIC, as long as you order far enough in advance.
