The shaft this sits on goes to the transmission. Of course... if we go with the two-transmission idea, it is the same thing, save for the gears not all connecting until *after* the transmissions. Hrm... that sounded kind of confusing. I wish I knew the CAD programs better so I could draw it up. But I hope that was able to clear it up some?

Okay, I think I follow it better now. I was assuming (incorrectly) that you would have the drill motor transmission attached directly the drill motor itself as it would be were the whole thing assembled for commercial use.
