Thanks
If my memory is not playing tricks on me, back in the early stages of working with the Dewalts, Chief Delphi built a prototype chassis with the wheels.

we made a steel tube with a stepped inside diameter. The tube screwed on to the output shaft of the Dewalt and we could put the Left hand chuck screw in through the other side. We also had a cross pin that we pressed in after attaching to shaft with the LH screw. This pin transferred torque to the wheel.

We didn't support the shaft other than the support that the Dewalt gave it.

It worked okay, but it was marginal in my opinion. I really can't recommend it unless you support the end of the shaft away from the Dewalt.

Even with the support, it seems to be less than ideal. If you have a good reason to do this, it may be worth the bother, but in general, I suppose a chain will serve you better.
