While that coupler should work, there is a way you can do it for almost free. Versaplanetary shafts come with a tapped 1/4-20 hole, so you can tap a matching hole in a shaft and secure them together with a short (~1in) piece of all thread. We also put a regular old hex shaft collar over the joint just for good measure, but I can't say whether it's really necessary. It's a pretty straightforward job if you have access to a lathe.

Considering we are making 4 of these joints, that would be $80 for the couplers.
