With something like this it can be a mistake to make it too strong. I like to have a well defined point which will break first when things go wrong - in my case I typically use taper pins to lock a gear to the shaft, and when the drive locks up (chain loose is a typical cause) the pin shears. In the absence of such a feature, you may find your gear teeth in a loose pile
