CIM to 3/8" Coupling?

I can use a VersaPlanetary with the 3/8" hex output, but was wondering if there was something simpler or shorter for this application.

Thanks in advance.

If you have access to a 1/2" hex broach, it might be better to just drill and broach the bevel gear and use a standard CIM to hex adapter. Just a thought.

So I have not been able to work on the designs much recently, but I think I'll actually be putting the CIM through a VersaPlanetary, and so I'll be able to use either size of hex output, or a round shaft output. But I'll certainly consider the suggestions you guys made.
