Tristan, did you use hardened steel for the shaft that you made?
Bruce
That's how it worked on the old drill. The retaining collar was a press fit, and though the inside may have had a taper (I never checked), the shaft itself was straight.

We didn't use hardened steel for the shafts, and that was a mistake. The steel we used (AISI 1018 first, I think, then AISI 12L14) was weak and ductile, and the torque of the drivetrain caused it to twist at the interface with the planetary gearbox after repeated back-and-forth cycling. In retrospect, we should have just used AISI O1 drill rod, and then hardened and tempered it.
