This sounds really, really sketchy. It could work, but I would be really concerned about concentricity if you need this for something like a gear mesh. A really clever idea if you're in a pinch, though.

I was thinking this was going to a wheel or manipulator where a few thousandths of an inch wouldn't matter much. Agreed - I would not use this to drive a gear!

I would also do the beating against a spare bit of steel 3/8" shaft, not the one I was planning to use in the robot.

Oh, do you have enough clearance for something like this?

For your hex adapter, would an assembly of AndyMark AM-0096a and AM-2231a work in your application?
