Re: how thin is too thin?
Would it work to just have a plain bore through the gear, but have a hub of diameter of .375 with 4 slots cut in it at 90 degree intervals and then use a split lock collar to clamp around that to affix it to the motor shaft? Would that hold (not slip) at motor stall? I suppose I could just try it, but I don't have a motor. I could do a little mockup with a similar shaft to the motor shaft and then use a torque wrench or something to move it while holding the clamping collar in a vise.
