Re: CIM direct drive
Your best solution is to get an ANSI sprocket with roughly the right diameter hole and put a pin through the sprocket and CIM axle. This is fairly easy to do, but drilling a hole through the CIM axle can be tricky.

I would not recomend attaching sprockets, gears, whatever to the CIM with just set-screws. The CIM produces far to much torque for those methods to work.
