15T CIM Shaft Pinion Gear (DeWalt project)

[Greg Needel]

I was thinking about this and if you want a direct drive solution why don't you get the interfacing gear and mount it to a shaft which can then be coupled with a flexible coupler (spider) to the cim motor. It would require the use of another bearing set, but could be done without modification of the cim motor or transmission. The only downside I see is that it would not be a compact package.
