Best method of retaining bond between collars/plates on motor shaft
Geat ideas. I think I will look into having a shop do them. I only utilized those because they worked well in a prototype capacity. The ends could be square..I don't think it would matter. I like the idea of getting a shop to do them because then they could just be plate stock instead of the...- Roadcase

We have a hand drill, Dremel, etc. Would happily swap it out for some other platter, but have not thought of...- Roadcase

Mounted on the shaft is a "propeller" (for lack of a better term) sandwiched between two shaft collars. The motor does not produce...- Roadcase
