Andy,

Try making your own solid coupling (about .25" larger diameter than the shaft) and use the "dutchmen" key that I described in an earlier post. You will never have a failure of that joint again (as long as you remove the anti-back drive pins in the drill transmission).

: We have just stuck with what has worked for us, as far as the drill motor coupling. We are trying the SPI coupling because it seems easier. The only tough thing about how we couple to the drive shaft is the drill & tap procedure... and that's not a problem, as long as we have spares.
