Re: CIM to 3/8" Coupling?
Yes, that's what I meant by thrust load. You will need a way to keep the bevel gear from sliding on the shaft adapter, and to keep the adapter from sliding on the shaft.
We used Vexpro aluminum 3/8 hex shaft stock, but I think steel would work also. CIM torque is not high enough to require steel. Wall thickness is not much, about 1/32", but it is enough if you can cut the key slot for a tight fit.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
