Re: CIM motor shaft Coupler

Well, that is a toughie with only a drill press, I admit. We cut the accurately holes using a lathe and have an arbor press and the tools to broach for the broaching.

Our first year (this is our fourth) we made one tool investment that has really paid off, we bought a bench top arbor press, for $200? or thereabouts. We broach key stock cuts in couplings, gears, sprockets, etc. and we press bearings in effectively and such. The lathe is a very old one we inherited when the auto shop closed at the school.

Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Best wishes!
