Re: pic: Mecanum Musings

For even less necessary machining, you could not mill out the inside of the hex stock, and instead thread-tap the holes where the counter-sunk screws go in. This makes it a bit heavier, but you wouldn't need a mill to make the wheel.

Then, you could also drill the KOP hub bolt-circle pattern into the side, eliminating the necessity of having to make a key way.

To take this even further, instead of counter-sunk screws you could use half-head-height machine bolts, eliminating the need to create the extra dimple after the initial hole is drilled.
