Another note on shaft collars... use clamping style collars and preferably the two piece type. Shaft collars with set screws will mar the shaft which is no fun!!
Buy a simple broach set to broach 1/4" - 1/2" items. A wise investment along with several pieces 3/8" and 1/2" keyed shafting. MSC Direct has
this for about $100. It's served us well for 4 years now. You may need an arbor press, although with most pieces you can press the broach through with a simple drill press (not running of course) and some cutting oil.
