So, while I have been racking my brain for solutions to my 14mm shaft to 1/2" bore issue from my motors to my gears (and subsequent belt drive...), I had this brief question come to mind...
How hard is it to disassemble a stepper motor, remove the shaft, machine the end down to 1/2", reassemble it, and have it still work properly? Am I just asking for trouble? It seems like I saw somewhere on the forums where someone had done that, but I'm a little hesitant to do it without knowing what I'm in for. I'm looking through the post Gerald shared showing the interior of a stepper motor, but it doesn't show the shaft itself as being removable.
Thoughts?
