I take the gear off, stick it on a lathe, and cut the teeth off using carbide tooling. And what did I have left, after a little millwork? A half inch shaft with a notch in it, perfect for a sprocket and set screw.
That's a great idea! Why didn't I think of that? So the gear on the Jideco comes off? (I can't exactly remember, although I remember taking the ND all apart).
